You can go to the video there. Watch when the final time pops up on the screen. There winners takes about 2 or 2.5 more strides before hitting the wire. How does nobody making the chart notice this, or at least someone on track alert the chart guy?
That sort of brings into question the integrity of the finish, that's for sure. Not only for charting purposes, but what about the photo? Isn't the timer supposed to be tripped by a photo electric beam at the finish? It looked like someone manually stopped the timer, and the display popped up.

Brings back memories of the infamous "short trip" race in the fog, which was "won" in near track record time.....

Carmouche was accused of slipping Landing Officer out of the mile-long race near the start, waiting in the fog until the eight other horses rounded the track and then charging back ahead of the pack near the final turn. The margin of victory was estimated at between 23 to 25 lengths. The Louisiana Racing Commission found him guilty and suspended him for 10 years. ''It ain't right. I know I ain't did it,'' Carmouche said after the commission voted.
