GALLOP card — DARK HARMONY, the shape of the win at McKinlay
DARK HARMONY · McKinlay R3 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 98% of its own clocked runs
faster than 92% of everything clocked at this trip and going
faster than 67% of Ms Hayley Saunders's rides
faster than 71% of Tanya Parry's runners
faster than 64% of everything clocked at the track
started 3 of 7 in the market at $6.0

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.
