KING COBAMA won race 8 at Gatton on Soft 5 over 1400m, averaging 16.56 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 33% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 77% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 42% of Ms Cejay Graham's rides |
| faster than 64% of Renita Beaton's runners |
| faster than 25% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 4 of 10 in the market at $7.5 |
| 0 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.
