BLONDIE’S AWARD won race 7 at Ballarat Synthetic on Synthetic over 1000m, averaging 16.54 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 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 25% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 62% of Jye McNeil's rides |
| faster than 60% of Shane Nichols & Hayden Black's runners |
| faster than 77% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 4 of 9 in the market at $8.0 |
| 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.
