The Diagnosis
THE CONFIDANTE ran faster than 88% of its own record — from 6 of 10 in the market
THE CONFIDANTE won race 5 at Forbes, faster than 90% of the field it beat and 74% of everything clocked at the track. What the run was actually worth.

THE CONFIDANTE won race 5 at Forbes on Good 4 over 1400m, averaging 17.05 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 88% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 89% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 76% of Ms Izzy Neale's rides |
| faster than 93% of Todd Smith's runners |
| faster than 74% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 6 of 10 in the market at $20.0 |
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.
