RETOURNE won race 2 at Morphettville on Soft 7 over 2500m, averaging 15.0 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 0% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 80% of the field it beat |
| faster than 8% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 1% of Joe Bowditch's rides |
| faster than 10% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 7 of 10 in the market at $26.0 |
| 0 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.
