DIAMOND LUCY won race 4 at Bowen on Soft 5 over 1280m, averaging 16.65 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 6% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 81% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 41% of Chris Whiteley's rides |
| faster than 38% of Troy Clive's runners |
| faster than 40% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 9 in the market at $4.0 |
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.
