TUFF TU MUS won race 1 at Pakenham Synthetic. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
TUFF TU MUS won race 1 at Pakenham Synthetic over 1000m, averaging 16.95 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 56% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 87% of Michael Dee's rides |
| faster than 81% of Ben, Will & JD Hayes's runners |
| faster than 83% of everything clocked at the track |
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.
