THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
RIVERBEND GOLD won race 2 at Albury on Heavy 8 over 1600m, averaging 15.32 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 34% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 6% of Cory Parish's rides |
| faster than 5% of Shane Bloomfield's runners |
| faster than 5% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 5 of 9 in the market at $8.0 |
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.
