DISMANTLE won race 8 at Bairnsdale on Soft 5 over 1000m, averaging 16.48 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 12% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 21% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 68% of Jake Noonan's rides |
| faster than 49% of Mark Walker's runners |
| faster than 63% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 10 in the market at $7.5 |
| 3 of 3 experts were on it |
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.
