HETTINGER won race 6 at Darwin on Good over 1600m, 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 88% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 94% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 76% of Billy Cray's rides |
| faster than 92% of Neil Dyer's runners |
| faster than 35% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 11 of 21 in the market at $12.0 |
| 0 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.
