I don't understand Moss's assertion that "unsuspecting tracks keep switching from beam timers to GPS". What does he mean by "unsuspecting tracks"? The tracks actually don't know that the GPS timers are malfunctioning?

The final time of 105.32 was in the chart when I looked at it just now. There may have been an error at some point but it's been corrected.

The time in the chart shows 134.36 so has been corrected since you noted the difference.

I think he is being politically correct and using that term instead of the real one - clueless.

I'm curious if the first race at Penn National on 8/14 was timed correctly. I don't think I've ever seen a :20 3/5 opening quarter at Penn National. The leaders did get passed late but it was close enough I am skeptical they really went that fast. Final time was :55.18 for 5 furlongs on the turf.

I do not post often and almost positive that i have never posted here in time errors, but what is it with Indiana Grand. Almost everyday they have numerous timing malfunctions with the clock?

Lots of chatter about race timing on twitter today. Its kind of funny really, tracks caring about the everyday player.

Andy Beyer on ATR today - seems the problem is most tracks DON'T care about us at all. GMAX is garbage at best and everyone associated with it knows it.

Indiana seemed all messed up yesterday August 25th, there is one note about timer malfunction, but it seems like there are more especially on the grass.

Saratoga Race #5 9/4, the fractions that were shown during the race are almost impossible. IMO.

1/2 mile was off by 3 seconds but the other splits were correct.

While watching the race, I was doing the internal fractions in my head. If people watched me doing it, they would have had a good laugh.
