9yo Celestial Trekker seems to have grown another leg since moving to the Tubbs/Sugar stable
He did a pb winning his previous start in 1.54.3 and then tonight comes out and breaks the Echuca track record rating 1.55.3 sitting in the death. The record was about 6yrs old

Not only did Phoenix Prince break the 2600m Tk Rec in the Cup
Cant Top This broke the 2190 Tk Rec with his 1.55.1
The Stewart stable should set up a satellite stable at Mildura, they would only need one staffer and a couple of boxes and they would earn $500k pa what with all the Mildura meets - the Douglas stable have been able to do it with what are B grade horses. A handful of Stewart's 2nd stringers rotating up to Mildura would kill it.

Just when you think you've seen it all in harness racing Gaita Pullicino drives for Emma Stewart....in an Oaks.....over 1800m....and they run 1.52.
That is a 3yo filly taking 1.5 seconds off the Tk Rec and winning by 54m in 1.52.4
Admittedly the record is nearly 6yrs old but we are talking about Mark Dennis when he was an early 8yo (would have been a 7yo under the new system)
It is 364 days since she set her previous best time of 1.54.9 at GD at her second ever start as a 2yo in the Allwoods
Here are links to both

A bit like Lex Luthor teaming up with The Joker. We are all doomed!
Aureus 1.54.1 is not a bad time for a 2yo around Maryborough. The open Tk Rec is 1.52.4

Another one to add to the Lucias First dynasty and Classic Families already has

I missed this one last night
Mr Perfect's win at his first Aussie start set a new 2160m Tk Rec for Echuca

I am not sure that 'smashes' was an accurate choice of verb but he did take 0.2 secs off a record that was probably overdue a reduction

Mr Perfect was far from perfect in NZ as his record indicates. He only won 3 with 7 placings from 27 starts, winning at Manawatu, Kapiti Coast and Rangiora. None of these venues and his exposed form suggests he would develop into anything special.

He was formerly trained by Steve and Amanda Telfer, currently NZ's leading trainers.
Captain Bellasario took 0.3secs off the Warragul 2210m Tk Rec today recording 1.54.5 in the $25k Eastern Challenge
