The Diagnosis
LATE NIGHT TALKING's win at Nanango was faster than 20% of everything run at the trip
LATE NIGHT TALKING won race 1 at Nanango, faster than 91% of the field it beat and 93% of everything clocked at the track. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
LATE NIGHT TALKING won race 1 at Nanango on Good 3 over 800m, averaging 17.11 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 91% of the field it beat |
| faster than 20% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 81% of Ms Kayla Barker's rides |
| faster than 93% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 11 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.
