THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
TRACK TALE won race 4 at Rockhampton on Good 4 over 1100m, averaging 17.27 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 31% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 90% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 65% of Ryan Wiggins's rides |
| faster than 61% of Ricky Vale's runners |
| faster than 43% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 6 in the market at $3.6 |
| 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.
