Craig Symes 124 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 Without the TAB posting the photo finish of the result. My opinion is that Zipping Steve won the race by at least a Head. Dodgy Judges call and the decision was made in very quick time for a dead heat. Slim Shady 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Sharp 224 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 From where I was at the track it looked like Steve had won the race. Both dogs put in a good run & it could have gone either way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Symes 124 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 Zoomed page up to 500 % and using the shorting the length of the page there is a gap between the noses of the 8 and 1. Only a nose but the 8 won . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1MUE 1,877 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 It may not be on the line but I've watched lots of close finishes from that venue (on TV) and the angle is always in favour of the outside dog (ie. if it looks like a dead heat then give it to the outside dog. I backed a loser in that race but definitely thought the outside dog won even before any angle in its favour. GONSTA 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Symes 124 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 Never said the judge was a cheat but saying they got it very wrong this time which is unacceptable in this day in age with the technology available to them. modest mouse 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not for me to enter the debate of who won or who didn't but I will say that the only picture/photo the judge can use is the one produced by the FinishLynx system. The system is capable of producing up to 2000 photos per second for greyhound races. That is, one pixel (picture element) represents one 2000th of a second. The "theory" referred to elsewhere on this page regarding the outside dog is a rule-of-thumb system only. And not one used by judges, I assure you. We had a classic recently at Addington where the outside dog "appeared" to have won but the inside dog got the verdict. It was close certainly but the result was clear. Sometimes I think it is more a matter of momentum rather than inside or outside. Remember that the dogs are small compared to horses and are travelling fast. (Then again, I think it often depends on which dog or horse you backed as to which you think has prevailed). I am surprised at some of the comments on this thread. They are almost actionable.
