VELARIS won at Canterbury Park. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
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.
| The run, measured against |
|---|
| faster than 90% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 8% of Tommy Berry's rides |
| 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 |
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.
