GALLOP card — RISK ASSESSMENT, the shape of the win at Gunnedah
RISK ASSESSMENT · Gunnedah R3 · the official GALLOP race profile
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.
