That is No Dead Heat

This the 1st race at Caloundra yesterday.

The judge declared the outside horse the winner.

Connections of the inside horse asked to look at the print.

They looked at it.

Then the judge changed the placings to make it a dead heat.

He was wrong both times.

You show me a dead heat here and I will show you a video taken 5 minutes ago of William kissing Harry.

La Amigo’s connections have been robbed big time.

The punters have been too.

It is the year 2023 and a simple mobile phone can take close up pictures of the craters on the moon.

How could the QRIC Stewards and the judge get this all so wrong?

I guess the better question is how do they ever get anything right?

Race 1: XXXX BAT OUT OF HELL 850 metres
 
Correct weight was delayed to allow connections of LA AMIGO to review the photo finish. At a subsequent enquiry, acting under AR214(4)(a) the judge amended his placings, declared a dead-heat and subsequently semaphored the amended numbers 4-9, 10, 6.
