The Diagnosis
FONDLED clocked Flemington faster than 88% of everything it has run, and 89% of the track
FONDLED won race 11 at Flemington. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
FONDLED won race 11 at Flemington over 800m, averaging 17.14 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 88% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 93% of Luke Currie's rides |
| faster than 96% of Andrew Noblet's runners |
| faster than 89% of everything clocked at the track |
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.
