COBBLESTONE WAY won race 8 at Sandown Lakeside on Heavy 8 over 1400m, averaging 16.03 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 76% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 28% of Lachlan Neindorf's rides |
| faster than 37% of Amy & Ash Yargi's runners |
| faster than 32% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 6 of 7 in the market at $11.0 |
| 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.
