ILLEGAL JUSTICE won race 5 at Townsville on Good 4 over 1609m, averaging 16.86 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 93% of the field it beat |
| faster than 94% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 88% of Dylan Turner's rides |
| faster than 44% of John Dann's runners |
| faster than 27% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 14 in the market at $1.24 |
| 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.
