THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
CAVALRY MAN won race 3 at Doomben on Good 4 over 2030m, averaging 15.92 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 16% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 50% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 5% of Jace McMurray's rides |
| faster than 12% of Lindsay Gough's runners |
| faster than 2% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 9 in the market at $3.7 |
| 2 of 2 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.
