DECIDUOUS won race 5 at Betoota on Good over 1600m, averaging 16.84 m/s. That is the result. The run is what follows — the same performance measured against every population that gives it meaning.

GALLOP card — DECIDUOUS, the shape of the win at Betoota
DECIDUOUS · Betoota R5 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 55% of its own clocked runs
faster than 99% of everything clocked at this trip and going
faster than 61% of Ms Angel Brennan's rides
faster than 33% of Leslie Baker's runners
faster than 17% of everything clocked at the track
started 3 of 6 in the market at $3.9

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.
