THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
ROSSO LEVANTO won race 1 at Ipswich on Soft 5 over 1980m, averaging 16.04 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 11% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 92% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 28% of Ben Thompson's rides |
| faster than 15% of David Vandyke's runners |
| faster than 26% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 9 in the market at $2.3 |
| 1 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.
