THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
FIERCENESS won race 4 at Nowra on Soft 7 over 1600m, averaging 16.08 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 60% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 18% of Ashley Morgan's rides |
| faster than 37% of Matthew Smith's runners |
| faster than 16% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 10 in the market at $2.6 |
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.
