BETTERLUCKNEXTTIME won race 9 at Townsville on Soft 5 over 1200m, averaging 17.14 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 60% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 94% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 87% of Ms Fiona Sandkuhl's rides |
| faster than 71% of Joanna Hassett's runners |
| faster than 36% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 5 of 13 in the market at $17.0 |
| 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.
