FINAL VOYAGE won race 8 at Kilcoy on Soft 5 over 1200m, averaging 16.82 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 22% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 83% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 71% of Archie McColm's rides |
| faster than 61% of Alyssa & Troy Sweeney's runners |
| faster than 81% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 9 in the market at $2.3 |
| 3 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.
