TAG THE BRIDE won race 4 at Pakenham Synthetic on Synthetic over 1200m, averaging 17.0 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 the field it beat |
| faster than 98% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 89% of Jye McNeil's rides |
| faster than 84% of John Sadler's runners |
| faster than 87% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 10 in the market at $3.3 |
| 2 of 2 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.
