The Diagnosis
PURE GRUNT won at Cranbourne — faster than 33% of everything clocked there, and 71% of its own runs
PURE GRUNT won race 4 at Cranbourne. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
PURE GRUNT won race 4 at Cranbourne over 800m, averaging 16.22 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 71% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 59% of Ms Liana Wood's rides |
| faster than 54% of Ken & Kasey Keys's runners |
| faster than 33% 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.
