Breeder's Cup skews championship status - Pace and Cap

If you trust Trakus you are POORLY INFORMED as to its accuracy. It is crap and many venues are just about to show it out the door.

I compare PHOTOGRAPHICALLY calculated beaten lenghts to the Trakus data and complete PLACINGS are often two places OUT. Beaten lenghts are off the further back horses are from the winner.

Times can vary from 2 independent clockers (usually in the first parts of races) by 2 seconds and MORE. Just peruse the internet to find all the massive complaint from people who have timed the replays and then compared the discovered fractions to what they were told. NOT even close, particularly on the grass.

If you go to their OWN website, they say THIS IS NOT A TIMING SYSTEM and as far as a placing system, it is really FLAWED.
