THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
BELLA PIAZZA won race 2 at Forbes on Good 4 over 1600m, averaging 16.57 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 91% of the field it beat |
| faster than 84% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 49% of Jake Pracey-Holmes's rides |
| faster than 60% of Tom Wilson's runners |
| faster than 86% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 11 in the market at $5.0 |
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.
