And to have it put up so quickly is really odd.. The whole thing is awfully strange.

The freeze frame NBC showed prior to the winning photo with Beholder up was definitely past the wire. No doubt. May well be a good result, but there is clearly a case to be made to the contrary and the mirror pic should be put up as well.

Because anybody with 2 eyes can see that, while tight, it's obvious whose nose is in front from that picture. They're gonna argue about what exactly? "Wow that was a close one..." "Yeah..." "Beholder's nose is in front a bit..." "I agree..." End scene.

What NBC puts up as a freeze frame is irrelevant. "May well be a good result"? Is. Full stop. End of story. No there's not doubt. The official photo finish image is what everybody goes by. There doesn't need to be a mirror image of anything put up. It'll just show a mirror image of Beholder's nose slightly in front because that's how the race finished. Beholder was in front, nothing weird about the announcer's call. Sometimes they're wrong. Kent's won those sometimes, so is he saying he lost some he was called as winning? Bet he's not gonna argue that. How about we don't go showboating if we don't now if we've won, Kent. Maybe you've just got a lousy ability to tell when you got it on the wire.

They don't need to prove to you how technology you don't understand works, Kent. What's next, Apple has to prove that Siri isn't a ghost inhabiting your iPhone?

If they could put up a pic with the mirror with beholder in front, they would, but they can't. My pic is right from the live shot in super slow mo. I can see you whacking that square peg into the round hole now... just keep whacking it. If it doesn't fit, make it fit. Your post is drivel, adding nothing insightful at all. Watch the replay before you post anything else.
