GODWITS won race 5 at Bathurst on Good 4 over 1800m, averaging 15.78 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 19% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 89% of the field it beat |
| faster than 8% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 18% of Liam Blanch's rides |
| faster than 32% of Todd Smith's runners |
| faster than 10% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 7 of 9 in the market at $13.0 |
| 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.
