EXORBITANT MISS won race 4 at Taree on Soft 5 over 2000m, averaging 16.02 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 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 89% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 17% of Rory Hutchings's rides |
| faster than 27% of Jeremy Gask's runners |
| faster than 42% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 3 of 12 in the market at $4.8 |
| 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.
