THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
CLEAR PROOF won race 1 at Royal Randwick on Soft 6 over 1200m, averaging 17.12 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 94% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 89% of Dylan Gibbons's rides |
| faster than 88% of John Thompson's runners |
| faster than 83% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 11 in the market at $3.6 |
| 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.
