OCTAHEDRON won race 6 at Casterton on Soft 6 over 2000m, averaging 15.93 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 89% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 84% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 43% of Ms Chelsea Thompson's rides |
| faster than 63% of Garry Phillips's runners |
| faster than 50% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 12 in the market at $4.2 |
| 3 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.
