THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
THINK LIKE PADDY won race 3 at Murwillumbah on Soft 6 over 1550m, averaging 16.1 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 47% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 61% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 25% of Aaron Bullock's rides |
| faster than 23% of Matthew Dunn's runners |
| faster than 53% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 7 in the market at $2.4 |
| 1 of 1 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.
