GOODNIGHT ROMEO won race 8 at Townsville on Good 4 over 1300m, averaging 16.93 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 54% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 94% of the field it beat |
| faster than 75% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 74% of Ben Kennedy's rides |
| faster than 30% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 5 of 16 in the market at $15.0 |
| 0 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.
