THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
PANDA DRUM won race 2 at Emerald on Good 4 over 1630m, averaging 16.52 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 44% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 79% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 33% of Chris Whiteley's rides |
| faster than 10% of Mark Oates's runners |
| faster than 24% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 5 of 7 in the market at $11.0 |
| 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.
