EQUIVASTER won race 2 at Devonport Tapeta Synthetic on Synthetic over 1150m, averaging 16.8 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 62% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 86% of Craig Newitt's rides |
| faster than 92% of Leanne Gaffney's runners |
| faster than 91% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 10 in the market at $3.1 |
| 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.
