Craig-- nothing against you personally, but a lot against your company because of the guy who owns/runs it, a truly nasty piece of work. Over the years there have been tens of thousands of posts here, and some bad stuff, especially in the early years when the Rag guys were posting, peddling what they had been told. But the single worst act was by Attenberg, who consciously and intentionally defamed us here, and I have the emails to prove it.
On a fast look, I can tell you that a 63 foot runup (which we also used) is usually around 230 hundreths, nowhere near 3 plus. It's always possible Equibase has the runup wrong for that distance, this and/or other years.
The 5th race (SA Oaks) had a 70 foot runup, we got that one a few hundreths fast, not slow, using 247 hundreths. So if there's an issue it's whether the reported runup for the SA Derby is correct. Regardless, as I have said here already, I did the race off the horses, and it's tight (see sheets with earlier post).
The GP teletimer has historically been notoriously off. I didn't notice anything specific this year but I take a lot of liberties based on the horses, especially when there's a long run down a straightaway (wind can have a big effect), so I don't pay as close attention.
By the way, frame by frame video is still attached to a clock somewhere...
