1st time I'm EVER seeing one in US racing.

We wouldn't want to get too exact over here, would we; especially when our chartmakers are irrefragably accurate.

Yeah, the technology is there, and certainly beyond what we use now, I don't understand why we can't do it, at least at the major tracks. I'm sure horses have been mistakenly assigned 2 lengths off from where they really were at a point of call, which is huge if you're a pace handicapper relying on PP's. I think most chartwriters would love to have points of call done for them, more time to concentrate on the race and give accurate chart comments.
