The Diagnosis
PREVENTION won at Geelong from 5 of 6 in the market, and 31% of the track
PREVENTION won race 5 at Geelong. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
PREVENTION won race 5 at Geelong on Heavy 8 over 1325m, averaging 16.13 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 everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 36% of Beau Mertens's rides |
| faster than 25% of Robbie Griffiths's runners |
| faster than 31% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 5 of 6 in the market at $16.0 |
| 0 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.
