CHOIR BOY won race 7 at Innisfail. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
CHOIR BOY won race 7 at Innisfail on Good 4 over 1800m, averaging 15.93 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 3% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 18% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 2% of Ivo Fry's rides |
| faster than 0% of Janel Ryan's runners |
| faster than 22% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 7 in the market at $3.0 |
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.
