Responding to the Thoroughbred Idea Foundation's Pat Cummings' discouraging report on Equibase's GPS timing system, which has caused times in several Del Mar turf races to have had be corrected in the official Equibase charts, Equibase issued the following statement on Thursday:
Del Mar will be utilizing hand timing for turf races for the remainder of the summer meet. The times produced by the Equibase GPS System for dirt races have proven to be highly accurate and will continue to be provided.
Last week, we discovered some inconsistencies with respect to the GPS survey and our historical survey relating to the turf course that we will work to rectify before Del Mar's November meet.
The GPS system will continue to provide the full running order for all types of races.
