The Diagnosis
SHOALWATER BAY's win at Springsure was faster than 52% of everything run at the trip, and 29% of the track
SHOALWATER BAY won race 5 at Springsure. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
SHOALWATER BAY won race 5 at Springsure on Soft over 1400m, averaging 16.2 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 52% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 19% of Jason Miller's rides |
| faster than 13% of Bevan Johnson's runners |
| faster than 29% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 5 in the market at $1.4 |
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.
