SMART LEGEND won race 2 at Townsville. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
SMART LEGEND won race 2 at Townsville on Good 4 over 2000m, averaging 15.34 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 0% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 4% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 0% of Ryan Wiggins's rides |
| faster than 1% of Stephen Massingham's runners |
| faster than 0% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 6 in the market at $2.3 |
| 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.
