What you don't know is that data vendors (like HDW) are constantly finding mistimed races. In turn, they bring those mistimed races to the attention of Equibase.

Equibase does a good job and are very helpful as you know. In the end, it is their job to report data, not to time races.
What Jeff says is 100% correct about mistimed races. It way worse these days than most people would imagine. This goes for fractional and final times. It is so common I've built safeguards into all my programs and I think I catch nearly all the phony times, but it is still ridiculous that this happens in 2012. This is one area where Equibase could improve, their safeguards are a bit too liberal in my opinion.
