WHO BUT ROO won race 6 at Canberra Acton on Synthetic over 1206m, averaging 17.2 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 the field it beat |
| faster than 100% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 93% of Deon Le Roux's rides |
| faster than 96% of Becky Byrne's runners |
| faster than 97% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 4 of 10 in the market at $7.5 |
| 0 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.
