THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
TAG TIME won race 6 at Northam on Heavy 9 over 1300m, averaging 15.98 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 91% of the field it beat |
| faster than 68% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 20% of William Pike's rides |
| faster than 17% of Grant & Alana Williams's runners |
| faster than 36% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 11 in the market at $1.65 |
| 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.
