GALLOP card — EXTRAGALACTIC, the shape of the win at Pakenham Synthetic
EXTRAGALACTIC · Pakenham Synthetic R3 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 92% of Ethan Brown's rides
faster than 83% of Trent Edmonds's runners
faster than 91% of everything clocked at the track
