Humerous & contraversial photo finish (with link to actual race footage)

the humour, the official race print, the contraversial plenty good judges convinced wrong result.
Greyhound race this year, this month at a Monmore Bags meeting, afternoon graded racing.
The race to see is the 14.42 (linked live below)
Keep your eyes on the black jacket T4 a strong staying finisher called Coin Toss.
Couple of things to note.
Fella on comms that day has a rep for being rather cautious calling a finish,but called T4 Coin Toss.
Monmore has a reputation for a rather, erm? inadequate photo finish / finish line set up.
Also,one of the track stalwart 'judges' a punter, not 'The Judge' a very astute long time served seen it all beyond grounded nice old chap,adament T4 got up,and thats eyes on at Monmore Green,not from an armchair.
One of my mates won't let this go,probably as he backed the 4!
So,for starters here is a still,I took myself.Must have watched this a hundred times.
Take a good long look at T6 the dog that finishes 3rd on the still frame (and in real time on the live recording)
Mentally note the position of T6 off the live still /race and the 'official' print from the track!
Especially noting the position of T6 on the print,who is now 'nibbling T4's' rear hind'
And that T4 has a rear leg with what looks like an anvil now attached, plus a now near pencil thin front off fore & to boot has somehow lost half it's nose & muzzle!
Also T6 is sporting a, paper thin rear hind and a front leg thicker than an elephants.
Been plenty photo finish fiasco's on the gee gees,Sandown (two finish lines) wrong result called several times.
As my pal says, this is 2022 with 2022 digital tech,that photo is rotten,very very suspect.
Half a yard before the line,T4 is going forward having got level,with forward head & neck motion,the T3 dog that point is at its fully extended forward motion and reclining its head and neck,dont forget these dogs doing approx 30mph!
Of course aware of 'strange camera angles' & 'optical illusions'
these people are hardcore dog punters / judges,and adament wrong result.

on the video, top right corner, you can adjust the speed to slo-mo
watched this 100 times full speed, 100 times at 0.25 speed, 100 times frame by frame,so I do not expect anyone to be convinced first look on a heads up heads down finish.Frame by frame from half a metre pre line,T4 all forward motion is level at that point.
Final still below is half metre pre winning T4 strong staying finisher,everything from here is T4 forward motion,body legs head neck and T3 due to stride pattern is lifting its neck head in a backward direction.
T6! how on the official print is T6 so close to T4s hind!!
That official result print is 'on the official winning line'
I have slow motioned the finish, the only point the official print bares any resemblence to the actual race footage is approx two and a half metres before the winning line,to get the correct camera angle for T6s nose to appear on T4s hind on the official print.
if the judge & Monmore used that,it is not remotely on the winning line?
This below, still frame & zoom at least min 2 metres before 'the line'
In both shots below, winning line is 2 metres right.
