The Diagnosis
FLY FIFER's win at Richmond was faster than 97% of everything run at the trip, and 95% of the track
FLY FIFER won race 4 at Richmond. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
FLY FIFER won race 4 at Richmond on Good over 1200m, averaging 17.5 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 70% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 97% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 93% of Matthew Gray's rides |
| faster than 80% of Shryn Royes's runners |
| faster than 95% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 5 in the market at $3.2 |
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.
