SNOW MERCY's full profile →

SNOW MERCY won race 3 at Traralgon over 950m, averaging 16.75 m/s. That is the result. The run is what follows — the same performance measured against every population that gives it meaning.

GALLOP card — SNOW MERCY, the shape of the win at Traralgon
SNOW MERCY · Traralgon R3 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 75% of Lachlan Neindorf's rides
faster than 76% of Phillip & Tommy Stokes's runners
faster than 82% of everything clocked at the track

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.
