PERFECT TEN won race 7 at Caulfield Heath on Soft 6 over 1800m, averaging 16.21 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 69% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 88% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 32% of Logan Bates's rides |
| faster than 41% of Nikki Burke's runners |
| faster than 21% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 12 in the market at $3.6 |
| 2 of 3 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.
