GALLOP card — PAPARAZZO, the shape of the win at Wangaratta
PAPARAZZO · Wangaratta R1 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 36% of its own clocked runs
faster than 77% of Jake Duffy's rides
faster than 66% of Craig Weeding's runners
faster than 68% of everything clocked at the track
