THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
METALCRAFT won race 4 at Rockhampton on Good 4 over 1050m, averaging 17.7 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 38% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 88% of the field it beat |
| faster than 100% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 90% of Brandon Lerena's rides |
| faster than 77% of Alisha Taylor's runners |
| faster than 56% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 8 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.
