THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
RUBUNKAR won race 1 at Muttaburra on Good over 1000m, averaging 17.16 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 20% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 69% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 70% of Steven Galvin's rides |
| faster than 77% of Reece Zahl's runners |
| faster than 93% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 7 in the market at $2.2 |
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.
