Here are but a few screen captures of examples...

It's truly a daily thing by the way ...

You want an amusing one from a couple of days ago...



A 30/1 shot filly won a maiden race ... if you watch the replay, they posted the final time well before she ever got to the finish line.

Obviously, she didn't run her final furlong in 11.43 seconds as the timer and equibase result chart say .... but don't tell that to a few other figure makers.

Anyway, making figures for EVD sucks. They've already screwed up a few of their major stakes races. The race Top Cat Boogie was burned up in was another race with a major timing screw-up.

Those examples aren't even consistent with themselves, which totally suggests human timer plunging is the daily method of operation.

I live about 20mins from EvD and I rarely go...maybe twice a year, and that's always with friends who want to play the horses.
They post the final time before they cross the wire eh?...well, they could post the winners before the first race starts if they wanted too also.

Last month I had a state senator in my restaurant and he told me to play Mark Guidry the following night at EvD...he won five races and ran second twice, it was La Champs Night.
