I'm just waiting for our resident expert in photo finishes, Alabama Stakes, to weigh in with his factual take on the first at EVD on 5/13.

Sorry ontheoutside, the 3 hoss bobbed the 4 last jump. The camera angle can fool you since its to the left of the actual wire. When its from the right of the actual wire the rail hoss always looks better. Pretty sure the 4 had him until that last jump when 3 hoss nose got down at just the instant it needed. Tough beat for sure.

Had same issue at oaklawn few years ago..was told the angle was bad by frank m on the phone..never saw a photo although was told one existed and it showed I was a loser. Why photos are kept under lock and key is something I'll never get

I had the same issue at Gulfstream a few years ago with no photo finish posted. I requested the photo by mail and they sent it.

By the naked eye it sure does look like the 4 hangs on but it's evangelines duty to provide the photo.
