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.

Please keep screaming about this so there's either an improvement with trakus or an elimination of it .
