During R4, the fractions that came on the screen were the same as the ones from R3. The clock that shows the final time just kept running for at least a minute after the horses crossed the wire until somebody figure out there was a problem.
For the Distaff, there were no fractions at all and during the race the portion of the tote that shows the chicklets was stuck on "Trakus, horses are loading", even after it was over.
Both races show "hand timed" in the charts. Couldn't time the world's richest race, and can't time the Breeders' Cup Distaff. There are probably so many races that slip through the cracks unnoticed it is scary---especially with Trakus.

This is very disturbing and embarrassing.
