THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
HURRICANE LU won race 8 at Doomben on Good 4 over 1350m, averaging 16.78 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 91% of the field it beat |
| faster than 71% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 78% of Michael Rodd's rides |
| faster than 77% of Shaun Dwyer's runners |
| faster than 67% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 11 in the market at $2.9 |
| 4 of 4 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.
