RISK ASSESSMENT won race 3 at Gunnedah on Soft 6 over 1600m, averaging 16.21 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 6% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 72% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 20% of Jacob Stiff's rides |
| faster than 6% of Todd Payne's runners |
| faster than 25% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 6 of 12 in the market at $15.0 |
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.
