The Diagnosis
RECOVERY ROAD ran faster than 80% of its own record — from 12 of 12 in the market, and 78% of the track
RECOVERY ROAD won race 4 at Cobar, faster than 83% of the field it beat. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
RECOVERY ROAD won race 4 at Cobar on Good over 1400m, averaging 16.67 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 80% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 83% of the field it beat |
| faster than 69% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 35% of Ms Tamsin Gough's rides |
| faster than 56% of Allan Prisk's runners |
| faster than 78% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 12 of 12 in the market at $12.0 |
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.
