Speed Explosion - Track Records and outstanding times

[Richard prior]

Craig Rail is his name Kev......goes real good I reckon too. Former Queenslander.
I just watched the race (for some reason the replays weren't available until late tonight) myself and the one thing that came to mind is just how far the A graders are in front of the B graders at the moment. Flaming Flutter was beaten 8 lengths in the Cranbourne cup after securing the exact same run he had this arvo, and he is some damn good horse for me to consider a B grader. Suppose it just shows how good the good ones are at the moment.

Absolutley spot on Brent, Nothing against any of the horses in this race but the A graders are very good and Craig is an excellent race caller.

A couple of more track records set during the last week. Friday 26 December at Bathurst, El Fuego driven by Amanda Turnbull went 1.53.3 over 1730 metres. At Cobram on the 28 December there was a track record in the first race T0+ Yankee Mara ran 2.1.5 mile rate over the 2,170 metres stand and this was followed up by Flaming Flutter breaking the track record in the cup which was reported in an earlier response.

Tony, El Fuego really was on fire - you have taught me some Spanish thanks to your post and google. Do you know how much he took off the old record?

Presidentialsecret was within .1 secs of Charlton's 2100 Rec when he rated 1.56.7 today

Yo Yelande took 1.5 seconds off the 2240m track record for Trotters tonight at Swan Hill

Kevin - I can't tell you what the old record was at Bathurst as their website hasn't been updated since July 2014 and so the track records listed are in respect of the old showgrounds track and not the new venue.

Welcome Tony, Just had a look at the track records for Bathurst and it appears that the only new updated track record is for El Fuego's effort on the 26/12/14 and all the others appear to be from the old track.

A new year and the records keep tumbling at all different tracks. On Saturday 3 January at Temora Business in Motion set a new track record for the 2,000 metres mobile of 2.01.2 MR winning by 25 metres and then Sporty Spook broke the 1,609 record running mile rate of 1.57.5 and winning by 20 metres. Finally at Globe Derby on the same day, Maximan ran 1.55.9 winning the 2,230 Free For All.

Our Femme Fatale just smashed the old Charlton 2100m record of 1.56.6
I think the whole field may have broken the record
