SALUTED won at Sandown Hillside. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
SALUTED won race 5 at Sandown Hillside on Soft 6 over 1000m, averaging 17.3 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 55% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 89% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 96% of Jackson Radley's rides |
| faster than 97% of Robbie Griffiths's runners |
| faster than 90% of everything clocked at the track |
| 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.
