PULL MY FINGER won race 1 at Ballarat Synthetic on Synthetic over 1000m, averaging 16.64 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 92% of the field it beat |
| faster than 39% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 78% of Craig Newitt's rides |
| faster than 74% of Amy & Ash Yargi's runners |
| faster than 83% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 2 of 12 in the market at $2.7 |
| 2 of 2 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.
