FINAL MOMENT won race 6 at Sandown Hillside on Heavy 8 over 1000m, averaging 16.93 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 91% of the field it beat |
| faster than 96% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 90% of Craig Williams's rides |
| faster than 79% of Clayton Douglas's runners |
| faster than 82% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 4 of 11 in the market at $7.5 |
| 0 of 3 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.
