Just looked at it now, the mirror image is beyond the finish pole. So you have an illusion that the horse got to the line first. The line is beyond the pole that says finish.

It's clear that the 4 had passed the 3. Even if the 3 actually came back, it was close enough that they need to post the photo.

Tough beat....reminds me of watching a tight finish at Yonkers. The horse that is a head behind the front runner always wins because of the camera angle.

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.
