• Someone should tell the 'judge' when a deadheat occurs and the result of the inquiry reverses such
• The f'in time and margins don't change

I thought the judges decision was final and couldn't be reversed by any inquiry?

[curious]

I wonder if the NZTR system doesn't allow for a zero margin to be posted?

The result of the race was judged off the outside camera which is located in a permanent mount inside the Judge’s box. Steward’s concerns regarding the inside camera not being correctly aligned were raised with Club Officials for follow up."

Surely it would be on the list of Stewards raceday jobs to check the camera BEFORE racing starts?  Perhaps when they watch the horses galloping on the track prior to racing commencing?

Holy shit...didn't even think about that possibility but knowing how the whole industry operates you could be bang on

You'd think so wouldn't you?

Look lets be proactive and sort the sit out from the chaff

Give them a ring and "asking on behalf of a friend"...or for "the whole industry to secure the integrity of such"

Ask for Craig Baker...'Bakes' to his mates

I'm persona non grata as I've embarrassed them far too often

They'd really love to hear from you...don't hesitate!!!
