Agreed. If they know it's incorrect and could skew a result in a tight finish - the only time they actually need the photo - why even bother looking at it. It can only create issue they can do without. I must admit though, after seeing the pics of the finish on the screen, which at least you didn't have to put up with 🤣, l found it impossible to tell who had won. ln fact, l was so adamant it wasn't Aladdin Sane that l didn't even bother following the result up when Trackside went home for the day immediately after that race. It was only the next time l went to use my account l found l'd collected. With the 4 horses locked together Aladdin Sane had one horse inside it and two outside, and with all the heads-up and heads-down going on you couldn't tell what belonged to whom. And that's on a 78" tele 🤣 I mean I'm happy we both collected, but when an experienced trainer questions the result, and we find out one of the two cameras isn't in line, you just hope they actually got it right.  

This all ties in with what somewhat else noted the other day. And which I, as a harness person, have noticed about Central Districts gallops racing. It is MASSIVELY over-catered for. So many meetings, such small fields. It's ridiculous and yet it goes on and on, year after year.

The way they are fucking around with the Telegraph is an absolute disgrace , if they try hard enough I'm sure they will find another few days in January that they can try running it on , any old shitty day will do . Have they got any idea how time honored this race is , not some poxy little country sprint . This shit makes my blood boil . WRC are complicit in this , sorry Insider , but this club needs to show some balls and tell them to get stuffed . There used to be a 3 day Wellington Cup "CARNIVAL" in the middle of January . Now there is a meeting masquerading as a side kick to some poxy northern meeting . This just makes my blood boil . Oh I've already said this , point made then .

I think you are taking this issue rather lightly .

Ha, as fate would have it I also had Aladdin Sane in the 4th leg of the quaddie that day, which is why I remember it so well.  I was out and about with very little internet coming through on my phone and I had seen the end of the race and suddenly my reception died and I had to wait for about 45 agonising mins before I could get access and find out the damn result 😂 Just read the stipes report from that day:  Following the running of this race Trainer S Marsh queried the official result of placings declared by the Judge. Stewards interviewed J Craig (Judge) and Trainer S Marsh along with viewing the official photo finish, accordingly under Rule 641(5) the decision of the Judge was deemed final. Anywho, not sure why the judge is even bothering to view the reverse angle if they know its wrong.  

No point moving anything to Trentham at this time of year. There is nobody in Wgtn for the next few weeks.

I don't remember that one.

Interesting to note that Te Akau may not have a starter in the Karaka 2yo this year. They currently have 14th and 15th in the order of entry, so they wouldn't want anything outside the first 15 to win a race over the next week or two. The 15th in the order might scrape in as it races in a high staked small field next week so running last might give it a enough stake money to sneak in. No such worries in the 3yo Karaka. Anything inside the first 40 in the order of entry should get in as there are so many doubtful starters.

Some fields for Rangiora are a little shy of numbers

Yes, l remember that one well. I had Aladdin Sane in (from memory) the Quaddie (or maybe it was the treble?), and in the 4-way photo l didn't think he'd actually won even though it was impossible to tell from the multiple replays......and then Trackside switched to a race from the back of beyond without giving a result. It was definitely extremely close between the inside trio, and now we know different cameras give different results in a photo finish. How on earth can that happen in 2024?

exactly the point of my initial post Gubes

Not sure how I could have highlighted that rule anymore than I did 😊

Hate to be the bearer of bad news Gee but you cannot pick the same person/team more than once, for example you can't have Scheffler in all 4 majors.
