the first freeze frame on rtv made it look like nearside. then they showed the slo mo, it flipped big. Another freeze frame then it went back closer to 50/50.
definitely the runner up traded sub 1.2 in the foto betting. |

By:
thought near side had got up live but on slow mo looked far side narrowly

apologies..
2nd's deffo won if mirror can be trusted..no eye how 2nd went 101. mirror obv cant be trusted. |
|
By:
yeah it was flying compared to the winner. if you take the optics of the closer together with the first freeze frame, easy to see why there were singed fingers.

 top in mirror (2nd) 100% in front in mirror |
|
By:
That mirror image is fcked, the 2nd didn't have a noseband.
|
|
By:
rather the winner didn't. I give up.

By:
The photo is not at the same point as the freeze frame. Look at the #9 jock, completely different body posi.

I'd say the freeze is past the 'line'.

Look at the #9 jock, completely different body posi. c'mon ffs how long ewe been watching racing? on the official print the jock on 3rd is higher up cos on freeze frame it still has a yd to go before and jockey is rising ,the image from mirror is recorded to the official print.. |

Mirror is misaligned, was happening consistently at Redcar a year or two ago.

what about hale end's jockey?

costly jamee ?

By:
As soon as punters saw the slo-mo they knew stopping the live pic had been very misleading
|
|
By:
Good. Did you wait until the slo-mo ?
|
|
By:
Mostly.
|
|
By:
rico: look carefully at the top horse in the mirror. Can you see a tiny dark triangle beneath the white bar? That must be the second horse's nose, not the slightly bigger splodge above the white bar.

screaming..in the mirror the top nose (this side) is 100% in front..impossible to call and know the mirror is misaligned

I got burnt with a couple of misaligned mirrors last year. Sandown was one from memory? Sometimes the slo-mo cam isn't quite on the line either which distorts the angle of reflection. So I don't use the reflections anymore.
|
|
By:
So you ignored the mirror,they were wide apart and won half an inch and you're betting on it? How much you have on?

What’s this all about with people calling Jamee out in these circumstances? He’s never posted anything that would make me doubt him for a second. A good egg.

Thanks Kenbo. I've never lied on here - don't see the point. I use this place to learn and get better.

Very well spotted on the jockey positions Cider - does make you wonder what shenanigans there are with photo tech - on th dogs it's a joke - you see them dragging the line back to call 2nd and 3rd so the places are not what what place you were at as you hit the line but the place you were in at the point winner has won - that's completely ludicrous and why there are some very odd place decisions on the dogs.

This was the most recent one. Kempton on 19th Jan this year. https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31893395 . what was misaligned here? far side was in front in mirror ..far side won? |
|
By:
rico, you're looking at dark splodge A. That is not the nose of the second. Its nose is the tiny splodge B.
I'm not getting at you. The only reason I can see it that way is because on my Sky box I happened to stop the slow-mo a fraction further on, where you could see both noses clearly. Christ knows what jamee was looking at. |

No probs, Jamee.
 Rcing was another good egg who’d get snide remarks every time he backed a 1000 winner, or even when a 1000 winner landed. |

Yeah sorry, that wasn't the thread I was thinking of. There's another thread somewhere but I can't find it now.
