HUGHIE won race 4 at Casterton on Soft 6 over 1200m, averaging 16.46 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 19% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 51% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 73% of Will Gordon's rides |
| faster than 89% of Jamie Edwards's runners |
| faster than 88% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 6 in the market at $2.4 |
| 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.
