GALLOP card — WIMMERA STAR, the shape of the win at Murtoa
WIMMERA STAR · Murtoa R6 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 5% of its own clocked runs
faster than 91% of the field it beat
faster than 80% of everything clocked at this trip and going
faster than 13% of Campbell Rawiller's rides
faster than 10% of Paul Preusker's runners
faster than 20% of everything clocked at the track
started 3 of 11 in the market at $5.5

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.
