VELARIS won race 4 at Canterbury Park on Soft 7 over 1900m, averaging 15.86 m/s. That is the result. The run is what follows — the same performance measured against every population that gives it meaning.

GALLOP card — VELARIS, the shape of the win at Canterbury Park

The run, measured against
faster than 90% of everything clocked at this trip and going

faster than 20% of Chris Waller's runners
faster than 7% of everything clocked at the track
started 1 of 7 in the market at $2.5
1 of 1 experts were on it
