THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
CASTLEBAR ROAD won race 5 at Dubbo on Heavy 8 over 1120m, averaging 17.28 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 99% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 89% of Ms Gabrielle Johnston's rides |
| faster than 87% of Jane Clement's runners |
| faster than 89% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 7 in the market at $4.2 |
| 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.
