THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
JUST SWIFT won race 1 at Ballarat Synthetic on Synthetic over 2100m, averaging 15.98 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 46% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 91% of the field it beat |
| faster than 88% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 27% of John Allen's rides |
| faster than 33% of Mitchell Freedman's runners |
| faster than 22% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 11 in the market at $2.8 |
| 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.
