NIPPA’S NIGHTCAP won race 5 at Townsville on Soft 5 over 1609m, averaging 16.66 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 47% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 93% of the field it beat |
| faster than 89% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 35% of Ms Rachel Shred's rides |
| faster than 22% of Sharlee Hoffman's runners |
| faster than 18% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 8 of 14 in the market at $21.0 |
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.
