THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
BADGERS BRIDGE won race 1 at Narromine on Soft 7 over 800m, averaging 16.96 m/s. That is the result. The run is what follows — the same performance measured against every population that gives it meaning.
| The run, measured against |
|---|
| faster than 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 22% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 72% of Ken Dunbar's rides |
| faster than 56% of Michael Lynch's runners |
| faster than 97% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 3 of 10 in the market at $7.0 |
Read down that list and the win either grows or shrinks. That is the whole point: the race says where they finished, the clock says how fast they actually went, and only one of those two survives contact with the next start.
