THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
RUSSIAN MINT won race 7 at Townsville on Soft 5 over 1000m, averaging 17.96 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 74% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 100% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 81% of Ryan Wiggins's rides |
| faster than 82% of Tom Button's runners |
| faster than 69% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 12 in the market at $3.9 |
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.
