TOUCHDOWN won race 6 at Flemington on Good 4 over 1620m, averaging 16.58 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 80% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 93% of the field it beat |
| faster than 83% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 53% of Blake Shinn's rides |
| faster than 55% of Ben, Will & JD Hayes's runners |
| faster than 51% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 14 in the market at $1.95 |
| 4 of 4 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.
