Settat won at Rockhampton. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
Settat won race 3 at Rockhampton on Good 4 over 1600m, averaging 16.62 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 80% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 87% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 18% of Ms Nikki Olzard (a2/52kg)'s rides |
| faster than 11% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 4 of 6 in the market at $5.0 |
| 2 of 3 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.
