    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

    1.55.3 MR is bloody good going over 2710m Robert

    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

    The real travesty at Melton is the 2700m MS record is held by a trotter.

    The problem is Brenno, there's never been a 2700m mobile pacers race run at Melton.

    Didn't know there had been none at all but thats exactly my point that they aren't racing pacers over that distance. What a surprise Hunter Cup hasn't been won by an Aussie at Melton (excluding Kerryns training effort with a horse coming off a NZ Cup campaign).

    Gday Kev
    To my knowledge its race time divided by distance covered x 1609. So in Monbets case need to use 2780m not 2760m to get 1.59.6


    And yes non-winner can have faster mile rate but think you have to be a winner to considered track record holder.

    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
