BIG TICKET BOY won race 4 at Sunshine Coast on Soft 7 over 1800m, averaging 15.92 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 9% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 49% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 15% of Ms Tiffani Brooker's rides |
| faster than 11% of Lindsay Gough's runners |
| faster than 12% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 3 of 7 in the market at $3.6 |
| 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.
