HIGHSTRUNG won race 2 at Pioneer Park on Good over 1200m, averaging 16.89 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 90% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 70% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 83% of Ms Jessica Booth's rides |
| faster than 70% of Ray Viney's runners |
| faster than 59% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 6 in the market at $3.2 |
| 1 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.
