The thing is Trakus isn't the official timer or chart provider for Churchill. The problem is in the official charts. But confusion sets in because the times for the Derby match the times in the Trakus chart exactly. That never happens at tracks that have two systems like Churchill and NYRA tracks. Keeneland is another I believe.
The more I thought about it I suspect Trakus malfunctioned again on a big day, as usual, and merely pirated the times from the beam system into their system for the Derby. On a normal race you're lucky to see one match, let alone every fraction.
And yes, I saw the chicklets. Hard to miss really. That is why I'm sure there were problems.

I watched the replay of the race on Trakus' website and the chicklets aren't jumping around like they were on the Churchill's telecast. Makes you wonder what the hell is going on.

That was a great call by Travis!
After I re-read my post this morning, it sounded kind of dumb - I meant it to mean the old saying, a camera adds 10 pounds.....meaning it added lengths to the race.
Sorry to have implied an insult to either Travis or Larry. Staying up too late feeding my database for the new tracks opening!

Crazy this happens with the biggest race of the year.
Imagine what slips by in the 5th at Will Rogers Downs?

A large number of races there are "hand timed" anyway.

Trakus had Menelssohn and Vino Rosso all over the place.
