Is the photo finish broken in the Mufthasa?

What's the bet the camera is broken AGAIN?

The new timing system wasn't working either.

What "ongoing App issue"?  Did you run out of coins for the WiFi???

The camera is a joke. What both the inside and outside cameras weren't working. As for the new timing system, I'm beginning to think that's a myth. No sign of it today, nor yesterday at Riccarton which still doesn't even have last 600 times available.

The photo finish is posted for the race before and after the Mufthasa but not the Mufthasa.  Seems they are still working on the Stewards Report as well.

[Chief Stipe]

Immediately after the race Stewards were made aware that the photo-finish had failed to function. This resulted in a delay in declaring the result while the Judge confirmed his visual call by viewing video footage at length in the presence of the Stewards before declaring the official result. The Club will review circumstances as to the 
reasons for this malfunction occurring.

FFS issues with the photo finish and electronic timing has been going on for years now!!!

On a brighter note Mr Grumpy, the racing was fantastic and the track due to perfect drying conditions after a lot of rain early in the week provided the best surface I have seen at Trentham for quite some time.

Isn't that 3 years in a row that the Captain Cook/Mufthasa Group 1 has had serious issues?  I thought you'd be the first to call for accountability.

They yet again dodged a bullet.  If the margins had been a credit card thickness closer we'd still be waiting for a result.

It appears not only did the main system fail but so did the backup.
