INVISIBLE MAGIC won race 5 at Bendigo. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
INVISIBLE MAGIC won race 5 at Bendigo on Heavy 9 over 1400m, averaging 16.39 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 97% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 63% of Jabez Johnstone's rides |
| faster than 50% of Ciaron Maher's runners |
| faster than 40% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 7 in the market at $7.0 |
| 2 of 2 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.
