DEFERENTIAL won race 3 at Corfield on Good over 1000m, averaging 17.18 m/s. That is the result. The run is what follows — the same performance measured against every population that gives it meaning.

GALLOP card — DEFERENTIAL, the shape of the win at Corfield
DEFERENTIAL · Corfield R3 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 55% of its own clocked runs
faster than 72% of everything clocked at this trip and going
faster than 88% of Chris Bryen's rides
faster than 58% of Toni Schofield's runners
faster than 96% of everything clocked at the track
started 1 of 7 in the market at $3.0
