Run them off their legs, 1.53.9 is slick for that class.

Saab Quality broke Yarra Glen's 2150MS record today - going 1.55.6 in the Claimers. That is a fair effort on a tightish track over that distance in the heat

Huge effort, Is that 2 for him this season???

I thought it was but skimmed thread and could not see him mentioned but we can't both be wrong.

[mightymo]

yes. He actually holds Ballarat 1710 record of 1.53.8 which was almost broken last night

I note Smoken Ups win at Ballarat few weeks ago was over the mile. How come the two different distances does anybody know?

Think just a once a year race over the mile. Called Lightning Mile. First turn comes up pretty quick but track has all been redone with nice banked turns.

Luke tells me they had 2 mile races on the night the track re-opened. Then the above one and he can't remember anymore. And says can't remember then having any on old track (probably would have been a bit unsafe with the flat turns).

None scheduled in next 4 months over the mile.

Thanks Paul and Luke.
