The Diagnosis
CRACKERJACK HATCH won at St Arnaud on one of its slower days — 0% of its own runs, and 6% of the track
CRACKERJACK HATCH won race 2 at St Arnaud. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
CRACKERJACK HATCH won race 2 at St Arnaud over 900m, averaging 15.23 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 0% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 18% of Ms Shayleigh Ingelse's rides |
| faster than 8% of Andrew Bobbin's runners |
| faster than 6% of everything clocked at the track |
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.
