I wonder where I would find such a super track, hmm :confused:
Messini won the Ouyen Cup last season around 1:56.5.
I'd pretty well written that horse off as a force but his Swan Hill Cup win was the Messini of old. Just watched the replay of Yarra Glen and he was motoring home with Lenny reeling off a 54.2 last half.
The Bendigo track excelled last night. Warm night, no breeze and terrific racing.
The Track Record was broken by a 3yo, KONAN. 3 wide at the bell, 3 wide down the back and ran the last 2 quarters in 27.2 and 28.1
for a 1:52 mile rate. over 2150 metres.

If it wasn't for the second place-getter coming close, I would have thought the time ridiculously good but it was set up for them. It is still ridiculous for a C0. We will follow these two with interest
1.52.0 for 1650m Noel
Oops...sorry about the distance miscue.
The owner says that Konan will have a let up and then aimed at next year's derbies. It has a very big motor !
Future Operator sizzled on Friday night as well.
Two Bendigo Track Records broken Friday night:
1150m MS FUTURE OPERATOR 10 Nov 2017 1:51.3
1650m MS KONAN 10 Nov 2017 1:52.0
Races under 1609m rate lower than monte races IMO
Stroke Of Luck broke the St Arnaud Tk in today's Cup - rating 1.58.3 for 2150m on the 805m track (I always thought it was smaller than that)

I cant get my head around the monte races either let alone the 1150m races.

Pretty quick mile rate for an MO at GP tonite by Reaza Grunter 1:54:00
Lazarus broke Quinn's Tk Rec
Across the ditch in Auckland, the next superstar of the sport won the 2700m stand, $50,000 Franklin Cup first up. Rated 1:59.0, almost equalled his own NZ record.
