THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
HAMNER SPRINGS won race 7 at Strathalbyn on Soft 7 over 1600m, averaging 15.2 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 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 2% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 9% of Ms Brooke King's rides |
| faster than 14% of Grant Young's runners |
| faster than 30% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 12 in the market at $3.2 |
| 3 of 3 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.
