KING OF THE VIBE won race 4 at Nanango on Good 3 over 1200m, averaging 16.97 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 17% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 78% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 62% of Chris Taylor's rides |
| faster than 81% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 12 in the market at $3.2 |
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.
