Print Please

please don't be another sandown farce

unbelievable

I know it's a bad angle, but surely NOT that bad!!

No way Amazonian won that - they got it wrong.

This will be yet another scandal.

I was watching on LV, no super slo mo , was that the case on ITV/RUK? 

Off to the bridge for whistle backers

clear nose

Looking at the print it's right but HOW?

Photo suggests dh

Shocked that you can come to that conclusion after viewing the print Manoleeds...

Looked correct. Amazonian Dreams head looked massive compared to Whistledown!

The finishing line must be at this angle \.

why the long face?

anyone got a picture of the winner pre-race? I have just looked at the photo and it has the longest snout on a horse i have seen, Twice the size of the second, more like an alligator than a horse!

you've got a point

the widest of necks as well

My eyesight isn't brilliant, but the winning distance on the bottom image looks bigger than the winning distance on the top image.
How does that happen???

i missed race as worc was late..just stopped it on sp life site and far side looks comfy winner...i would have done my bollox in.

The first aardvark to ever win a UK horserace.

Whale, winning horse is across the line in top image, only touching it on bottom one, how ,why, only Sandown know these things.

the super slo mo is back on LV

Yes  why we've got the proper angle for the photo on Racing TV now but not the previous race?  Whilst that photo shows the correct winner it is a very odd photo

both true, imo

Swifty, I hadn't spotted that. How can that happen, that photo must be suspect

As well as the neck and head looking a bit irregular, the horses appears to be squashed too,
looks a good bit shorter in length than the runner up.

This is the photo of the same horse in a photo on the 13th August. Is it me or has its snout grown 3 inches in a week!

photoshop

some want bigger tits...this horse wanted a longer nose

the more you look at it, the whole photo is odd. From where is it actually taken?

ascot

strange that we have sandown again following the wrong call and then dead heat fiasco a few weeks back

Why did they not show the slow mo from the camera on the line like they did the clear winner 5:45?

6:15 another clear winner...they show the slow mo on the line
Do they hold that image back when theres a photo?

Someone should certainly bet asking racing tv why they haven't got the crossing the line slow mo  footage for for the 4.50 yet did for the 5.20. All very odd particularly considering the previous Sandown has of calling wrong results and supposedly cameras at the wrong angle.

6:45 clear winner, they show the slow mo on the line

I went back to watch the race coverage for the 4:50 to see if they actually did show the slow mo, and they didnt, if they want to contest the fact I have it recorded.

So why do they not show the slow mo at Sandown for Photos?

dodgy photo and i had no interest in the race

on twitter they saying the mirror/reverse image shows no 10 ahead

[   This image is no longer available.   ]

you can stop that as many times as you like and come to no other conclusion that the far sides won comfy.

[   This image is no longer available.   ]

looks nothing like the rtv still.

[   This image is no longer available.   ]

a yard before the line the far side is a foot in front..in non of these pics could this side have won..the angle of the camera from the grandstand cannot possibly be as where it looks.

1st picture above can make a case

Aside from the alligator on the near-side, the far-side horse's off-fore looks more like a knitting needle than a horse's leg!  V dodgy photo.

No wonder it's been taken down!

just as an aside there are often distortions on "photos" are they are basically a continuous video of an area one pixel wide.

Right I have just reviewed all the data again to be sure and here are the facts (and all races are freely available to review:)
.
https://www.racingtv.com/videos/watch/horse_racing_replays/350695-sky-bet-sunday-series-newcomers-ebf-maiden-stakes-4

3:55 = Clear winner, showed Slow mo on line. (No betting due to result)
4:20 = Clear winner, showed Slow mo on line. (No betting due to result) [This was the second closest finish after the debacle in the 4:50 and the Slow Mo was 'paused'???? before they reached the line??
4:50 = Contested winner, No Slow Mo (betting available as high as 1/100 in error)
(The commentator called it 'wrong', the quiff called it 'wrong' and Franny the ex jock called it 'wrong'
Franny said. 'It will be interesting to see the slow mo if we have access to it....'
The quiff said, 'It wouldnt be Sandown without a tight photo...'

5:20 = Clear winner, showed Slow mo on line. (No betting due to result)
5:45 = Clear winner, showed Slow mo on line. (No betting due to result)
6:15 = Clear winner, showed Slow mo on line. (No betting due to result)
6:45 = Clear winner, showed Slow mo on line. (No betting due to result)

So can somebody explain to me why they have no problems showing the Slow Mo when it isnt needed for anything, but for the one race it was required it scandalously wasnt shown, Fran implied there could be a possibility it wouldnt be shown, and the quiff observed that tight finishes are a constant issue at Sandown.

Is it, at best incompetence that the Slow Mo isnt shown when required, or is it something more sinister and purposefully not shown (and the second closest finish was paused before the line...was somebody 'pre-empting' something there?)
Who decides whether the Slow Mo is shown?

photo still up.

that is def a different image, wesdaq, from the one you originally linked. The original showed the mirror with the slight discrepancy of the winner's nostril being on the line in the main, but passed the line in the mirror.

A still shot two feet before the line does not count

i missed race as worc was late

and with that any remaining credibility disappeared ... wac

worc 4:45 off time 16:51..winning time 5m 1 sec

sandown 4:50 off time 16:53
