MAGNARDO won race 7 at Pakenham Synthetic on Synthetic over 1200m, averaging 16.72 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 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 84% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 67% of Damian Lane's rides |
| faster than 80% of Reece Goodwin's runners |
| faster than 66% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 10 in the market at $1.5 |
| 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.
