The Diagnosis
KNIGHT’S CHOICE won at Caulfield Heath on one of its slower days — 15% of its own runs, and 1% of the track
KNIGHT’S CHOICE won race 1 at Caulfield Heath. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
KNIGHT’S CHOICE won race 1 at Caulfield Heath over 1400m, averaging 15.61 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 15% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 11% of Dylan Dunn's rides |
| faster than 25% of John Symons & Sheila Laxon's runners |
| faster than 1% of everything clocked at the track |
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.
