THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
PATRIOTIC KING won race 3 at Darwin on Good over 1100m, averaging 17.59 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 88% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 99% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 99% of Ms Jessica Booth's rides |
| faster than 94% of Gary Clarke's runners |
| faster than 94% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 3 of 4 in the market at $5.5 |
| 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.
