GROOVE JET's win at Mount Isa was faster than 31% of everything run at the trip, and 91% of the track
GROOVE JET won race 1 at Mount Isa. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
GROOVE JET won race 1 at Mount Isa on Good over 1000m, averaging 16.82 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 38% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 31% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 57% of Ms Brooke Stower's rides |
| faster than 55% of Tanya Parry's runners |
| faster than 91% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 6 in the market at $2.5 |
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.
