FIVE STAR KING won race 5 at Mackay on Good 4 over 1100m, averaging 17.01 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 86% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 68% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 55% of Raul Silvera Olivera's rides |
| faster than 39% of Ricky Vale's runners |
| faster than 45% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 9 in the market at $2.05 |
| 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.
