    How quickly the sport has SPED UP
    Go back little more than a couple of years and you would have been astonished to see 2yo's rating 1.56.7 at their first start (in the country at that)

    Mare Whatahottie's 1.54.9 at Cranbourne tonight was only 0.6 secs outside Island Glow's Track Record - that record has now stood for 19 years!

    Yankee Rockstar took 3.7 secs off the 2690m MS track record in winning the Kilmore Cup, albeit, the previous record was held by a trotter, Earl Of Mott.

    Ideal Success, trained and driven by Kerryn Manning took 0.6 sec off the Ararat 2570m SS Track Record when winning the Cup last night.
    The 5yo American Ideal gelding rated 2.00.5 coming home in a super quick 56.2 on this small track which resembles the old Melbourne Showgrounds
    Ideal Success has now had 3 starts in Oz for 3 wins with 2 of them Cups and 2 Track Records with his other start only 0.1 secs outside the track record

    Thanks to the pace that Stunning Grin set up, Nike Franco smashed the Track Record in the Warragul Cup today when they went 1.57.4 for the 2627m. The old record set by HectorJayJay last year was 1.59.9

    Good times for a 768m track Greg. I am thinking it wouldn't have had any banking work either like some of our tracks eg Warragul which although only 70m bigger has great new banking and the 1790m record is already down to 1.54.8

    Having watched it in a sports bar I did not pick up on the fact that Stunning Grin's Midura Cup heat win was a Track Record for 2600m - I could tell they were going fast mind you, especially early
    Stunning Grin's 1.57.5 took 0.7 secs off Safari's 9 year old record.
    Will he do it again in the Final on Saturday night?
    If the emerg comes out he will be in gate 3 with the other hotshots in 4 and 5 with only 5 off the front

    Indeed. Heza Head Honcho (2yo) went 1.55.8 at his first ever start at Bunbury. Times like that have become so commonplace it's not even mentioned any more.

    On that note, isn't it time they changed the breeding records so that dark type horses need to run 1.55 now instead of 2.00? I remember back in the 90s that 2.00 was very fast, but now it's slow as hell and yet the horses that go inside 2.00 are black type
