TENNESSEE SPIRIT won race 5 at Ballarat Synthetic. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
TENNESSEE SPIRIT won race 5 at Ballarat Synthetic over 850m, averaging 16.01 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 37% of Zac Moore's rides |
| faster than 38% of Toby Lake's runners |
| faster than 25% 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.
