VORACIOUS won race 7 at Forbes on Good 4 over 1600m, averaging 17.0 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 71% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 85% of the field it beat |
| faster than 95% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 79% of Jean Van Overmeire's rides |
| faster than 67% of Mack Griffith's runners |
| faster than 69% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 4 of 13 in the market at $7.5 |
| 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.
