![]() Official Time 2:00.69
Trakus 1:59.26 Big difference anyone have an opinion on Why ??? Looked at the rest of the races and they were all within Reason. Plus if you go by Trakus 1:59.26 is a track Record. |

![]() Most of the difference occurs in the first 1/4 mile of the race.

![]() It is VERY tough to tell (due to the camera angle) where the timing starts, but I did my best using the 45 foot run up listed in the charts. Using the timer on the replay, I get the 1/4 mile at somewhere between 22 and 23 seconds.
What is interesting is that just using the break from the gate to start the timing, I get just a tad over 24 seconds, which is the reported time. It seems to me this race was timed from the gate. So, I went back and timed last years race from the gate, a race which also had the run up listed at 45 feet. I got the time from the gate at dead on 25 seconds, and the 1/4 was reported in 23.61, or a difference 1.39. That is very close to the difference in the Equibase/Trakus times for both the 1/4 and the final time in 2013. As one further check, I ran the videos simultaneously. I ran them for exactly 25 seconds from the instant the gate sprung. In 2013, Game On Dude is right on the finish line, while in 2012 Riveting Reason is leading and at the same point in time the finish line isn't even in the camera yet. Clearly, to my mind, Trakus has this right and they cheated Game On Dude of a track record.

![]() Wow, given the pace he set then this has to be one of the better efforts at 10 furlongs in the past couple decades.

![]() It really is scary. I catch bad times every day all around the country, and probably miss as many as I catch. But a G1, million dollar race? That is pathetic.

![]() From a non "time" perspective, it seems logical GOD ran a very big race. The horses behind him aren't world beaters, but they are solid older Grade 2 (Kettle Corn) or Grade 3 stakes horses. So it almost had to be a solid Grade 1 level performance or better unless you think an entire field ran subpar. IMO, the official time has to be wrong.

It seems in this case Trakus has it right and has found a human error.

The one I liked best was the photo Doug sent me of a horse about three or four strides from the wire and the final time was already displayed...and that same time appeared in the official chart.

![]() Its just another sad case that the tracks don't have much care for the player, I am sure Equibase relies on the track data, you go to the effort to make them aware but I am sure two guys (gals) in an office look at it from a whats in it for us to care about this.

But even without knowing the timing issue, it's hard to look at that field, watch that race, and conclude GOD ran a mediocre race. Without that information I would have broken the race out and assumed something flukey happened.
