DIVERGENT won race 1 at Thomas Farms RC Murray Bridge on Heavy 8 over 1200m, averaging 16.33 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 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 83% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 63% of Noel Callow's rides |
| faster than 65% of Phillip & Tommy Stokes's runners |
| faster than 79% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 9 in the market at $3.7 |
| 1 of 1 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.
