VALDA WARRIOR won race 3 at Bendigo on Heavy 10 over 1600m, averaging 16.07 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 62% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 93% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 72% of Ms Shayleigh Ingelse's rides |
| faster than 46% of Rod Symons's runners |
| faster than 21% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 5 of 6 in the market at $14.0 |
| 1 of 3 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.
