CRUISERWEIGHT won race 6 at Flemington. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
CRUISERWEIGHT won race 6 at Flemington over 800m, averaging 15.64 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 5% of Mark Zahra's rides |
| faster than 6% of Ben, Will & JD Hayes's runners |
| faster than 7% 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.
