ORTHIE’S BOYS won race 7 at Mildura on Good 4 over 1200m, averaging 16.54 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 the field it beat |
| faster than 26% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 74% of Neil Farley's rides |
| faster than 70% of Wayne Brown's runners |
| faster than 74% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 9 in the market at $2.5 |
| 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.
