STARGUST won race 5 at Mount Gambier on Heavy 9 over 1300m, averaging 15.13 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 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 5% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 4% of Tom Madden's rides |
| faster than 9% of Joanne Mugavin's runners |
| faster than 63% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 9 in the market at $3.0 |
| 0 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.
