PROVED won race 1 at Cranbourne over 800m, averaging 16.69 m/s. That is the result. The run is what follows — the same performance measured against every population that gives it meaning.

GALLOP card — PROVED, the shape of the win at Cranbourne
PROVED · Cranbourne R1 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 11% of its own clocked runs
faster than 79% of Ms Carleen Hefel's rides
faster than 67% of Enver Jusufovic's runners
faster than 72% of everything clocked at the track

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.
