THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
DIVINE DOT won race 7 at Pakenham Synthetic over 750m, averaging 16.95 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 96% of Ms Sam Kennedy's rides |
| faster than 86% of John McArdle's runners |
| faster than 84% of everything clocked at the track |
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.
