They didn't even put up a photo, Nico gave it to the #8 and just said hold on a dead heat has been called, when the #8 looked like it took it by a nose with the naked eye. Not too impressed as it cut my double in half.

Full agreement, far too quick!
The worst decision ever was when they took almost 10 minutes to split Young Rake & El Picha in the July many moons ago! how that was never a dead heat we will never know! must have won by one 'pixel'
Everyone wants to win the July,what harm would a dead heat have been????

Yeah, it would be interesting if someone could get that photo and get tellytrack/judges to explain how they were able to derive such an outcome so quickly because I for one needed a photo. But maybe my eyes aren't as trained as theirs? ::o Does S'manga only get half a win added to the jockeys championship seeing that our bets were all halved? lol

doesnt seem like they in a rush to justify the decision on this site? Surely it should be standard practice to show the photo otherwise we assume something dodgy ? wouldnt that be fair to all? WTF some of these clowns processes is really quite a joke

In the modern age I can send and receive an MMS in seconds - should take the same time to post a pic unless they are the only people in the world that still use 35mm film?

Who remembers I think the Cape Flying Championship where an Alfa Romeo was a prize to a lucky racegoer who drew the winner. I think Laisserfaire won the race but after a very protracted photo finish decision. The real reason for the long decision was because there was only ONE Alfa Romeo ...

Guys here is the video follow the link and pause the video in place as I don't know how to post a print screen for example.
Have a look, I feel the far horse (shiver and shake) clearly has won and feel that the RA or TT need to answer for the fact that a photo was not even shown.

Have a look and let me know what you guys feel.
