MR SUGAR DADDY won race 5 at Townsville on Soft 5 over 1400m, averaging 16.84 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 50% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 98% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 43% of Ivo Fry's rides |
| faster than 80% of Gareth Smith's runners |
| faster than 39% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 6 of 12 in the market at $15.0 |
| 0 of 3 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.
