I timed race 8 from Gulfstream on Friday from video because it looked suspiciously (1:09.06) compared to the other two races at the distance based on the quality of the horses. The other two are spot on but this one looks about .30 seconds too fast, horses are clearly past the start pole when timing starts.
I keep saying it and probably will until they are gone...Trakus and other systems like it just aren't that accurate. You never hear the companies that use the beam system refer to "margin of error" with timing. It either works or it doesn't.
At the distance, 0.30 is about two lengths, so this isn't a small error. But I'd bet the Trakus people would say it is within the margin of error.
