Making a mountain out of a molehill here in my opinion. Yes, it isn't perfectly accurate. It also isn't as bad as is being made out either. The problems can be minimized to an extent, and in the grand scheme of things, exact times at the fractional calls aren't overly important.
At the finish, beaten lengths as listed are irrelevant. I know what each horse ran to the hundredth. All you have to do is figure out the conversion used by the photo company at the track and it is easy math. Beaten lengths at this point (and also at the fractions for Trakus and the new GPS systems) are simply a conversion of time to a number representing the time gap. The actual times are available for each horse if you know how to look.
