Speed Explosion - Track Records and outstanding times

You're right Patrick. I read about Aldebaran Revani on the peterprofit website and now see a correction/realization that the Australasian Trotters mile record is held by Maori Time who is a mare

The Kapiti Express won the Gawler Cup in 1.54.7 yesterday

By my calculations that is 2 whole seconds taken off the 2070m Tk Rec

3yo Yambukian broke the Warragul 2210m Tk Rec going 1.56.2 when winning by 22m

Didn't do it easy either, had to work hard 3w to the death and eventually the lead

The 2100m record at Geelong is 1.55.6
Tonight 3yo Bettor Call Me won by 18m in 1.56
He didn't have the best of luck in his first couple of starts after returning from a big Queensland campaign but in his last couple you can tell he is a serious horse

My calculations tell me that every runner bar last in R7 at Stawell today broke the Track Record (and last just missed by less than a metre)
The winner and new record holder Roquefort Cheese took 2.07.8 for the 1785m (and rated 1.55.2)
That equates to 13.97m per second (very close to 7m per half second)
6th was only beaten 6.7m (< half a second behind) and the old record was 0.5 seconds slower MR of 1.55.7

I could add that at the point that Roquefort Cheese hit the line, last place had rated 1.55.7 (the old record) for 7.7m short of the full distance - and most probably maintained that MR for his last 7.7m to cross the line

Anyway Roquefort Cheese took a massive 0.5 seconds off the previous best Tk Record / Mile Rate

Expensive Ego's 1.50.6 takes a neat 1.5 secs off the Bathurst Track Record
AND HE WAS 3 DEEP FOR A LAP
and still runs his last Q in 26.3

3yo Filly Life Happens was having only her 2nd ever start today and she made it 2 from 2, both at Charlton
Her time of 1.55.6 in R.7 was only .6 secs outside Bondi Lockdown's Tk Rec for 2100m
You might need to wait a while to watch the replay (or go to the TAB website) as the the results replay the wrong race

Another example of speed was also a 3yo filly, the well performed Tay Tay in R.5 who ran her last Q in 25.8

Sea Lover took 0.5 secs off the Stawell 2180m Tk Rec today
and Sonny Brooke took 0.1 secs off the trotters 2600m SS Tk Rec in winning the Cup
Like the winner of the pacing cup, these two also led all the way
