THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
PRIMA BELLA won race 6 at Royal Randwick on Soft 6 over 1100m, averaging 17.48 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 95% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 98% of Kerrin McEvoy's rides |
| faster than 97% of Matthew Smith's runners |
| faster than 98% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 3 of 7 in the market at $5.5 |
| 2 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.
