Photo for 8th race closing day at Toga
Below is from today's daily news...they still don't have the win photo on the Nyra site, just place. This really stinks out loud!!
I still don't believe that 5 got up for the win...  TRIPPED UP It's called "Photo Finish: Pictures On Demand". The NYRA's way of showing you the picture from a photo finish right after a race is on its website, www.nyra.com. The only problem is it's not on demand. It's whenever the Teletimer operator wants to put the picture on the Web. On closing day at Saratoga, there was a three-horse photo separating Frivolous Buck, Gitchee Goomie and Tutti Va Bene for first, second and third place in the eighth race. The photo never made it up until after the 11th and final race of the card, after plenty fans from across the country called wanting to see it. The operator had a cavalier attitude when asked about it, saying he doesn't get paid extra for it. This is why this sport is dying. The people in charge don't care and allow it to happen when they should demand that the photo is put up on the web immediately - as advertised.

The photo for 'place' is the win photo... The winner was clear in the picture, and the photo is called for "Place" because it was harder to determine who was 2nd/3rd: 8th at SARATOGA (9/6/10): Win/Place/Show Photograph Just because Bossert is clueless, doesn't mean everyone else needs to take his lead. Closing Day at the track is always rather frenetic... It took the placing judges an extra 45-60 minutes to put up the photograph that afternoon. BFD. Is this really what Jerry Bossert is focused on with important fall racing at Belmont going on and Breeders' Cup 7 weeks away? Pretty sad.

It looks pretty clear the 5 won the race...I don't know how anyone can see differently.

And...whether the photo is posted or not, it doesn't change the outcome for any bettor, ever.
I'm tired of the media ragging on inside-baseball type items...stupid stuff that only impacts the media (not saying this is a case). But the articles from Vic Zast and John Pricci (and others) over the last few days, whining about press releases from NYRA and other silly banter is so ridiculous. The laziness that is rife amongst the racing media is amazing and the more they whine about trivial things that matter to no one but themselves, the more they do towards their extinction. Blah blah blah, nothing about Super Saver working towards the Haskell...well, if you got up and went to the works early enough, you might have seen that, AND maybe something else newsworthy.
