Dance to Bristol 106

I wonder what time they based that 105 on for Game on Dude. Was it the printed, fictional one or the real one?

Erich Zimny from CT wrote me about the fig too. Said something about an outrider tripping the beam and he wondered if Beyer Associates might have hand-timed the race to make the number? I suggested he get a hold of Dick Jerardi who I guessed does the figs for BA. What were your thoughts?

My thoughts are if you use the "official" time, it has to be broken out. If you use the real time, it falls in line with the other route pretty closely. I don't use the Beyer scale any longer, but given the proximity of the other two horses and the fact Baffert horses are running like crap, it sounds about right to me.

I imagine it was projected, and it does make sense for the others. but I don't know. I can find out.

That type of timing error is avoided if the timer starts at the break of the gate.

It's not real common ... but outriders and starters at some tracks can be oblivious to run-up ... and they accidentally put themselves in the path of the beam and trigger the timer before the first horse gets there to trigger it.
