OLE DANCER won race 1 at Pakenham and 20% of everything clocked at the track. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
OLE DANCER won race 1 at Pakenham over 800m, averaging 15.79 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 14% of Ms Emily Pozman's rides |
| faster than 5% of Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman's runners |
| faster than 20% of everything clocked at the track |
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.
