THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
BETTER SWEET won race 1 at Ipswich on Soft 5 over 800m, averaging 17.45 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 56% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 79% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 89% of Brandon Lerena's rides |
| faster than 77% of Michael G Nolan's runners |
| faster than 80% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 7 in the market at $1.75 |
| 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.
