BLACK ADAM won race 4 at Berrigan, faster than 93% of the field it beat. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
BLACK ADAM won race 4 at Berrigan on Soft 7 over 1400m, averaging 16.55 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 38% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 93% of the field it beat |
| faster than 76% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 67% of Ms Alice Kennedy's rides |
| faster than 52% of Dan McCarthy's runners |
| faster than 83% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 14 in the market at $4.0 |
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.
