The Diagnosis

ROYAL RENDEZVOUS won race 7 at Cranbourne and 94% of everything clocked at the track. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
ROYAL RENDEZVOUS won race 7 at Cranbourne over 800m, averaging 17.02 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 Lachlan Neindorf's rides |
| faster than 84% of Mark Walker's runners |
| faster than 94% of everything clocked at the track |
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.
