THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
RAGING RAIDER won race 2 at Ipswich on Good 4 over 1350m, averaging 16.56 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 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 26% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 66% of Ben Thompson's rides |
| faster than 38% of Paul Butterworth's runners |
| faster than 47% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 9 in the market at $1.9 |
| 1 of 1 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.
