BATEMANS BAY won race 2 at Townsville on Good 4 over 2000m, averaging 16.23 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 31% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 93% of the field it beat |
| faster than 84% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 15% of Nathan Thomas's rides |
| faster than 15% of Alisha Taylor's runners |
| faster than 4% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 5 of 15 in the market at $8.5 |
| 0 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.
