LYRICS ’N’ SONG won race 12 at Cranbourne over 1000m, averaging 16.21 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 40% of Lachlan Neindorf's rides |
| faster than 33% of Mark Walker's runners |
| faster than 32% 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.
