The Diagnosis
BARBRAY's win at Eagle Farm was faster than 63% of everything run at the trip
BARBRAY won race 1 at Eagle Farm, faster than 90% of the field it beat and 6% of everything clocked at the track. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
BARBRAY won race 1 at Eagle Farm on Good 4 over 1815m, averaging 16.21 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 63% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 28% of Jake Bayliss's rides |
| faster than 43% of Chris Waller's runners |
| faster than 6% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 10 in the market at $3.7 |
| 1 of 1 experts were on it |
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.
