THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
ACAPULCO GIRL won race 4 at Doomben on Soft 6 over 1200m, averaging 16.73 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 27% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 78% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 49% of Ashley Butler's rides |
| faster than 74% of David Vandyke's runners |
| faster than 29% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 4 of 7 in the market at $13.0 |
| 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.
