Spa, I was mainly responding to Mike's post regarding DQ's but I have since gone back and looked at the photo. The winner is in the way and there is no clear view of the 2 other horses noses. I replayed the video and freezed it when they hit the wire several times and while the picture was fuzzy it looked like a dead-heat but I couldn't be sure. I'm really surprised they don't have a mirror image at a major track like SA. The reverse angle would settle this. I wonder if Trakus would be precise enough to decide this?
I can see how this could be very unsettling to anyone having a stake in this race. I'm sorry it cost you. I've never seen a more ambiguous finish result. The technology failed badly here.
