Some finish photos leave more questions than answers as the wire appears angled or otherwise altered! Check out the place photo in the second at Pompano Thursday night! No way the 6 horse got up for a dead heat! The photo shown had the line distinctly slanted!
HUMPTY KNEW
The line you see in a photo finish pic is built in to camera. The way the judges manipulate a finish is they start taking pics about 5 feet before finish and continue clicking for 2 or 3 feet after. They now have about 10 or 12 pics to choose from and in a blanket finish they may have 2 or 3 different "finishes". Of course they can only do this when horses are noses apart but trust me, it is done more than you know. Usually the way you can tell is watch the replay and when the horse actually hits the wire, look at what the driver is doing. He may be leaning back or he may be in the process of whipping. Then when you see the "official" photo, the driver is not doing either and that is because they are using a pic before or after the horse actually hit the line. FACT!!!!!
Asking..In the judges 'unwritten' job description...how often does 'cleaning up' a photo finish mess or lapped on breaking decision or optional pylon violation, when drivers screw up a predetermined 'enveloped finish', occur?Does any judge also get 'envelope' in advance of racing...like many drivers do. It would be helpful for a judge(s) to know how backstretch is thinking, right?To say there are no 'assists' from judges stand would be short sighted, no?

These don't have anything to do with the garbage you posted in my response. Judges manipulating pictures, blanket finishes, multiple pictures to choose from?? Everything in your post is so factually inaccurate it's comical. Judges in harness racing don't even have access to the computers running the photo finish software, photo finish is normally located in an entirely different room operated by another individual.I have extensive knowledge of how today's photo finish cameras, and the corresponding software, work, so I know what I'm talking about. Try educating yourself instead of spreading ridiculous conspiracy theories.
YOU HAVE EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE!! Here is the model that is used at most tracks. Read the features moron. It has the ability to take over 2000 still frames per second. YOU ARE A MORON!!!!!http://www.finishlynx.com/product/cameras/etherlynx-vision-photo-finish-camera/
BULLSHIT! You can select, print or display any individual frame, you fucktard.
I won a race for what should have been a lot of money at Hawthorne 2 years ago. I know the wire at every track I bet. I'm betting and watching races for 40 years. The photo that was put up looked like a dead heat and it was clearly just before the wire. I was screwed royally.
