TOO DARN FINESSE won race 6 at Coffs Harbour on Soft 6 over 1200m, averaging 16.79 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 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 82% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 77% of Andrew Gibbons's rides |
| faster than 74% of Kris Lees's runners |
| faster than 84% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 13 in the market at $3.9 |
| 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.
