Post That Dead Heat Bug
Howdy

Not sure if there is anything can can be done about it but Wk1 FR14 was definitely a dead heat but showed my horse as winning by 1 3/4 lengths.
I've seen this bug happen quiet a few times in the trials.
I'm happy to be awarded the win but "Quantity Surveyor" from Hemz deserves equal billing as well.

Is there any way to rectify?

Hey Jango.

That was a strange race and both our 2 battled very well to the line and it was very close call.

When i saw the result and you had won by a 1 1/4L that didn't seem right to me.

On a positive note we both have decent horses. Probably she is my best flat horse in the league.

Yeah it was an awesome tussle, another couple of meters and i reckon you would have snatched it outright.
You really do deserve that 1st and the prize money in your stable.

It's all good mate.

Hopefully she can make amends and pick up one or two races this season :)

BUMP!!!!

So is this just going to be accepted that an obvious dead heat "might" only be awarded to one of the horses?
I have seen this bug happen so many times that it is easy to pick.

Is there no post race adjustments that can be made in TOM to award the race as a dead heat?

It is a painful manual adjustment of the database and I am not always guaranteed to be around, and noone else can do it, so no won't happen. Just take it as a dodgy steward decision

I have managed to capture this in a game and have sent the game files to Mark. When he fixes it I will correct this result and any others we have in the league. At this stage it is only this one race. But if there are any others let me know

The news is that Mark has to replicate this in real time, which as it's so rare is extremely difficult to do. So my saved game is not much help. It's more likely to be a display bug though. i.e horse finished 2nd by short head than an actual dead heat though. So the horses finishing distance behind is incorrect and not the result
