I have no idea. But in my opinion that track didn't play fair or consistent and I suspect the upgrades were done on polling the Jockey's. -

Were those GPS generated times? What has happened about that data? -

In my opinion and experience supports that opinion the industry participants at all levels focus on the wrong things. For example isn't it more important to focus on the safety and consistency of tracks first rather than issues that are further down the line like counting whip strikes? When working in IT I used a process I learnt through an academic course that worked well. That process in brief was to identify the constraints (bottlenecks) in a system and elevate that constraint to the number one focus. The first step was to measure that part of the process accurately especially the variance from the mean - then assign all change resources to that constraint. The first step in the change proces was to remove the variance (make the process outputs consistent) and once that was done raise the mean. THEN only then once that constraint was eliminated focus on the elevate the next constraint. As you know for a very long time I've been advocating the focus of all the industry resources on fixing the tracks - making them more consistent, safer and fairer. If we did that you'd see an improvement in lots of other areas e.g. race riding tactics. You'd also see an improvement in revenue and a rise in the optimism of owners and trainers. The same should apply to rule enforcement. Focus on those rules that affect horse and Jockey safety. Whip strike counting and placement is a distraction that as you point out some major jurisdictions have less emphasis on. -
