Don’t watch enough horse races to know if this is common or not.

I think it has something to do with the speed of light.

I’d like to slow my mirror down. I think it’s running fast. It seems to be showing what I’m going to look like, when I get older.

Well, I guess when you grow up you’ll know mirrors aren’t perfect.

Is there an actual mirror there? Or just a camera facing the opposite direction?

The picture was probably taken with a digital camera with a “rolling shutter”. So the top of the screen is older than the bottom.

Either parallax error or a slight delay in the video processing computer that feeds the “mirror image” monitor.

I think KY Downs needs to realign their mirror.

It is not common at all from what I’ve seen.

I always figured they could put that mythical “finish line” at whatever angle they wanted to in a close race.

THANKS for posting. Very interesting.

Am I the only one who can see the differences in the positions of the horses and riders between the two images?

In the mirror image, the winning horse’s neck is stretched out more. The rider’s position has shifted. His butt is lower, his head is higher, and his elbows are bent less.

Look at the knees and elbows on the rider in the middle. In one, his knees are bent more, and in the other his elbows are bent more.

Look at the position of the rider in the rear. In one, his back is almost perfectly horizontal. In the other, his shoulders and head are much higher than his butt.

I’m telling you, there is a time difference between the two images. It’s not just a different angle.
