#1 - Wins
#2 - 2nd 5 lengths back
#3 - 3rd 5.5 lengths back
But the actual finish is #1, #3, #2.
How does that reconcile?

Dave,
No. You do understand what I posted at all.
When I posted the words "
If the horses are not where they should be" (without the quotes) I meant, after using video editing software to freeze recorded track video when the nose of the winner breaks the plane of the finish line at the mirror, and then rewinding the video by the amount of published final time for the race, if the lead horse is not at (or really close to) the end of the runup where race timing begins - you'll know right then and there that published final time for the race is off.
