HELIKEDEMPRETTY won race 6 at Emerald on Good 4 over 1000m, averaging 17.3 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 46% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 88% of the field it beat |
| faster than 82% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 63% of Ms Amy Graham's rides |
| faster than 79% of Maleah Hill's runners |
| faster than 84% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 3 of 8 in the market at $6.0 |
| 0 of 1 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.
