THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
EDGE OF MIDNIGHT won race 8 at Gosford on Soft 5 over 1200m, averaging 16.74 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 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 81% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 68% of Ms Siena Grima's rides |
| faster than 70% of Paul Perry's runners |
| faster than 75% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 5 of 10 in the market at $41.0 |
| 0 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.
