EGERTON REEF won race 2 at Ballarat Synthetic on Synthetic over 1500m, averaging 16.2 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 50% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 91% of the field it beat |
| faster than 65% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 41% of John Allen's rides |
| faster than 45% of William Morrissey's runners |
| faster than 41% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 11 in the market at $3.6 |
| 2 of 2 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.
