HE’LL RIP's full profile →

HE’LL RIP won race 4 at Flemington over 1000m, averaging 16.58 m/s. That is the result. The run is what follows — the same performance measured against every population that gives it meaning.

GALLOP card — HE’LL RIP, the shape of the win at Flemington
HE’LL RIP · Flemington R4 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 52% of its own clocked runs
faster than 68% of Ben Allen's rides
faster than 44% of Leon & Troy Corstens & Will Larkin's runners
faster than 53% 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.
