SAILING SOLO won race 4 at Mackay on Soft 5 over 1300m, averaging 16.79 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 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 85% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 43% of Sean Cormack's rides |
| faster than 40% of Kevin Miller's runners |
| faster than 34% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 3 of 10 in the market at $6.5 |
| 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.
