THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
ORDINARY ANGEL won race 3 at Taree on Soft 5 over 1600m, averaging 16.29 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 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 77% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 28% of Jean Van Overmeire's rides |
| faster than 22% of Todd Howlett's runners |
| faster than 63% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 3 of 12 in the market at $5.5 |
| 2 of 2 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.
