Andy Beyer was talking about this on At the Races today - second hour.
Very interesting interview.
Randy Moss is now video timing ALL the races at all the GMAX tracks, with a full time assistant. He reported that after doing for a while, at least 30% of the races were off by up to 5 points. Either too fast or too slow.
The morons who made this system seem to have the opinion that a couple of fifths either way is no big deal! And apparently Equibase is going along with them.
EB is going to kill racing with this 100% STUPID business model.
CJ got a hats off from Andy for his diligence in this black eye and exposition of complete incompetence by the racing industry.
Funny, in passing, Andy said the timing at SA this winter was terrible.
All these years after he wrote is landmark article on racing being run by morons, and all the game has done is hire MORE of them.
SA cheer up, if your are an idiot, have no math skills, no integrity, no honor, there is a carrier for YOU in Horse Racing - the industry of losers.
