Smolda, 1.5 secs of Restrepo's track record.
Arms Of An Angel leads from 10 and is forced to go 25.6 first quarter and still wins the Hondo Grattan in the excellent time of 1.50.7

Monbet smashed the Melton trotters 2760m SS record in winning the Australasian Trotting Championship in a 1.59.6 MR
Being off 20m is the MR calculated on his time or the front line? I am thinking the front line or else it would be possible for non winners to hold the Track Record.
The record was probably due for a hit as Skyvalley set it back in 2009

Off 20 metres and slow off the mark.
Thanks Paul, that makes sense as it would be silly to credit a handicapped horse with a Track Record of 'x' when he really rated 'y'. I suppose I/we should also let go of the Track Record having to belong to a winner as it is probably just as silly to say horse A holds the record when horse B has gone faster. I suppose the problem is expressing records in MR's - if expressed in time (I think NZ do this) then a non winner cannot hold the record
