Does anyone else think the wrong horse was declared the winner of the photo? Even the TVG analysts, looking at the photo, implied the photo was incorrectly read. Almost as bad as when Jose Santos got mistakenly taken down at Saratoga years ago.
Definitely a weird photo used, showing us a freeze shot with the outside 2 horse nose over the line, and the \"winner\" rail horse 6 (?) obscured completely.
I though they had they wrong horse up as well. I was waiting for a mirror shot, but that\'s asking too much of the Southern Cal Stewards.
I just looked online (http://www.hollywoodpark.com/racinginfo/photofinishes/index.html), and Hollywood Park does not post mirror images for turf racing. With all the technology that\'s out there, there is no rational reason for not having the capability to produce mirror images in a sport that is often decided by inches.

I was involved in 2 nose photos for the pick 6-- that one and the third leg. Both times the horse that was in front lost the bob because the other horse had his head down at the wire. I needed both for the pick 6, lost the first, won the second, it paid 300k, mine would have been around 100-150. Ended up breaking even with the consos.
I\'m watching Hollywood feed, they have heard the questions about the photo, they are having a steward in the paddock today (before or after the 6th?) to answer questions about it.
