The Diagnosis

LONGINUS won race 6 at Gosford, faster than 90% of the field it beat. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
LONGINUS won race 6 at Gosford on Soft 5 over 2070m, averaging 15.88 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 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 90% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 15% of Zac Lloyd's rides |
| faster than 7% of Brad Widdup's runners |
| faster than 19% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 10 in the market at $3.0 |
| 1 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.
