O’CALDINO won race 3 at Toowoomba on Good 4 over 1890m, averaging 15.52 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 9% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 12% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 7% of Rob Thorburn's rides |
| faster than 14% of Christopher Zintilis's runners |
| faster than 5% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 4 of 10 in the market at $6.0 |
| 0 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.
