looking at print closer than I thought but betting was badly wrong all the same
did u ? where's photo value boy cider ? You know what it's like sometimes you don't spot a stewards but as it turns out it was too close to call but I would have gone with the winner if I had to.
I think you may agree with this but I tend to think if there's a rank outsider that may have won you sometimes get better odds about it in a photo
i never try to guess live cos too easy make wrong calls..as we nah the newc angle is notoriously trick to call but i never crash in anymore unless im 100% sure..prob was here one was hd up other hd down and the angle is tricky..i favoured far side but after seeing the super slo mo thought was close.
newky angle seems to change from meeting to meeting
The calculation is near side clear 1/2 head winner on the still - newcastle 1/2 head favour for far side = pixel in it either way = 9-2 in the photo was big for the winner.
No I didn't, but we know for next time.

yep! and some days you get the opposite-side slo-mo, I wonder where that was hidden today? Boot-fillers behind the scenes?
v difficult to know uti
for example 9th oct camera almost dead in line
later meetings in oct a little past the line arguably even subtle differences eg 21st & 27th oct
then today its back to a little before the line

you would think it would be 1 position for the main camera but here it seems to be numerous possible positions makes tight photo v tricky imo
Newcastle has always been a rancid cesspit which I am happy to leave alone

tis..in that wooden box 20ft above the ground.

im referring to the camera..mirrors hardly gona be 20ft off the ground.
the red line is in the wrong place, it must be somewhere in the gap in the rails on the far side,the post you have joined it too would obscure the photo if they raced down the inside rail, thats why I bet five to two on the loser.
9th oct, 21st oct & 6th nov
watch the replays from newky on these days
3 completely different camera positions

how can the camera be different..its in the box 20ft off the ground sticking through the window.

the red line is in the wrong place
imo theres nowhere else to put the red line to make this side the winner.

and its been changing from meeting to meeting lately which has made tight photos there tricky to call
that's my point
that's my point
the support post for the mirror on the jump course has been left there since the jump meeting last Thursday, the gap in the rails on the far inside of the jump course gives you the angle, thats why I backed the loser in the photo, I agree your line must be correct for this side to have won, but there should be no obstuction between camera and mirror, which that post is.
if you draw a red line through the same two posts on your latest picture,then extend it to the brick building housing the photo finish camera, the line will miss the building by about 6 inches to the right
You are certainly welcome to my share there,kingbop
to confuse me even more, if you look at the finish of the 3.38 last Thursday, on the chase course, the post and mirror are in the middle of the gap, about a foot to the left of were it is yesterday and today
gaps in rails are just a guide,same as the lollipop..people think its the line.
the actual line must be somewhere in the gap, if the horse is tight to the rail and its nose is bobbing to the same height as the rail how can it be photographed?
the lollipop is always after the line about 2-3 feet
