GALLOP card — GROOVE JET, the shape of the win at Mount Isa
GROOVE JET · Mount Isa R1 · the official GALLOP race profile
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.
