SHERIFF’S STAR won race 3 at Tambo and 41% of everything clocked at the track. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
SHERIFF’S STAR won race 3 at Tambo on Good over 1200m, averaging 17.14 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 everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 66% of Ms Hayley Saunders's rides |
| faster than 59% of William Pugsley's runners |
| faster than 41% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 4 in the market at $2.0 |
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.
