BARDIA’S DREAM won race 5 at Seymour on Soft 7 over 1200m, averaging 16.48 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 15% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 93% of the field it beat |
| faster than 54% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 49% of Damian Lane's rides |
| faster than 59% of Simon Zahra's runners |
| faster than 60% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 14 in the market at $4.6 |
| 2 of 2 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.
