TEXTURE won race 2 at Darwin on Good over 1200m, averaging 17.41 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 89% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 97% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 70% of Ms Jade Hampson's rides |
| faster than 70% of Dick Leech's runners |
| faster than 82% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 12 in the market at $2.15 |
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.
