LAST DITCH EFFORT won race 2 at Mount Isa. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
LAST DITCH EFFORT won race 2 at Mount Isa on Good over 1000m, averaging 16.99 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 41% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 49% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 68% of Ms Brooke Stower's rides |
| faster than 63% of Tanya Parry's runners |
| faster than 96% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 3 of 5 in the market at $3.6 |
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.
