HIT won race 3 at Longreach. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
HIT won race 3 at Longreach on Good over 1300m, averaging 16.95 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 56% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 76% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 58% of Ms Emma Bell's rides |
| faster than 64% of Clinton Austin's runners |
| faster than 44% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 5 of 7 in the market at $7.0 |
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.
