FIRST DIVISION won race 6 at Wodonga on Heavy 8 over 1100m, averaging 16.16 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 11% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 57% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 41% of Ms Sarah Field (a1.5/52kg)'s rides |
| faster than 56% of Kelvin Bourke's runners |
| faster than 41% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 9 in the market at $3.3 |
| 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.
