THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
SAXON BLOOD won race 9 at Sale on Soft 6 over 1717m, averaging 15.95 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 68% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 93% of the field it beat |
| faster than 60% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 41% of Ms Sam Kennedy's rides |
| faster than 43% of Nathan McPherson's runners |
| faster than 25% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 9 of 14 in the market at $21.0 |
| 0 of 2 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.
