CASTLEBAR ROAD won race 5 at Gilgandra on Good 4 over 1280m, averaging 16.88 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 91% of the field it beat |
| faster than 73% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 72% of Ms Gabrielle Johnston's rides |
| faster than 71% of Jane Clement's runners |
| faster than 42% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 11 in the market at $4.2 |
| 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.
