Fair enough i stick with mine rodent horse ran no were near its price last start also i think that more then says enough about the time recored.
actual time was 72.46 - official time was 72.36
nowhere near 73.24
i say it was 72 seconds flat, although the official time of 72.36 IS correct when measured against the other times on that day, so rodent is correct, and you other guys are wrong.
72 flat lol
Good to get confirmation of the edge we have here if that's your take on the times :-)
of them STANDING IN THE GATES GOING NOWHERE.
what was that about edge again?
maybe you need to upgrade your video software!
so anybody that get a time slower than the official IS dreaming.
unless of course the race is hand timed and then it will often be faster than reality, because of 'reaction' time.
Won't argue with the fact perth official is NEARLY ALWAYS accurate. Rarely a diiference of more than one tenth but even rarer than that is a race with a correct official time. The same goes for anywhere in the nation.Those who rely on official times being accurate everywhere are sorely mistaken.
could you be the guy i am about to talk about(or work for him)?
there is a guy that the syndicates use, that times(and sections) all races covered by sky.
he THINKS he is more accurate than official, and often he is, but just as often he is NOT.
i used to have access to all those times, and often would make up spreadsheets comparing him/official/me(those that i do), as part of what i do(or used to do)
the correlation official to me, is always stronger, than official to timing guy, or me to timing guy on wa races.
wa times(provincial and metro) are usually good although there are some errors.
the main problem with wa is the sections are fantasy very often, but i think that's human error rather than anything else.
for instance kalgoorlie sections last sunday were ridiculous and maybe the guy responsible was hungover or something!!
sydney and provincial nsw were terrible last time i checked, and maybe other places are too.
and it's a given that most country tracks are wrong too, because it will mostly be hand timed.
but western australia official times for provincial a,b and metro are mostly ok, with the exception of albany,mt barker and geraldton sometimes.
why do i know all this??
because i check them all, each and every race, so no i don't rely on official times, but just the same i am not going to say they're wrong when i know they're not.
it's just part of trying to be better than the next bloke
and one thing i always find weird.
how do you think you can time off video, more precisely than electronic timers.
you have to have a margin of error built in to your software.
sure there are official errors, but not as bad as you seem to think
of one thing i am sure.....if you think perth races are rarely accurate(even if close) then you need to fix however you check the times, because it is YOU that is wrong.
