MILITARY LEGEND won race 5 at Ballina on Heavy 10 over 1400m, averaging 15.57 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 75% of the field it beat |
| faster than 33% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 7% of Anthony Allen's rides |
| faster than 10% of Allan Chau's runners |
| faster than 46% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 3 of 8 in the market at $4.6 |
| 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.
