The Diagnosis
CAPTAIN BARBOSSA's win at Berrigan was faster than 75% of everything run at the trip, and 22% of the track
CAPTAIN BARBOSSA won race 5 at Berrigan. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
CAPTAIN BARBOSSA won race 5 at Berrigan on Soft 7 over 1600m, averaging 16.27 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 69% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 75% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 37% of Brodie Loy's rides |
| faster than 48% of John & Chris Ledger's runners |
| faster than 22% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 7 in the market at $3.2 |
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.
