PRINCE ERIC won race 13 at St Arnaud over 1500m, averaging 14.83 m/s. That is the result. The run is what follows — the same performance measured against every population that gives it meaning.

GALLOP card — PRINCE ERIC, the shape of the win at St Arnaud
PRINCE ERIC · St Arnaud R13 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 0% of its own clocked runs
faster than 2% of Declan Bates's rides
faster than 2% of Archie Alexander's runners
faster than 2% of everything clocked at the track

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.
