Speed Explosion - Track Records and outstanding times

1.47.5. In the Chariots. Hope the top 2 score invites to Mile if thats allowed because Bondi Lockdown was huge and deserved to win

Better Eclipse gets $136,250
Bondi Lockdwon get $42,500

Life isn't fair but drivers like Greg Sugars (like Gavin Lang) periodically do this to tough luckless opponents - how often it is the 3 fence posn

The first 9 in the race all went faster than they ever have before
Yes, even 9th Titian Raider who galloped and went to the tail of the main field and was beaten 31m would have broken 1.50
Bondi Lockdown is clearly a super horse but it is also amazing that Krug and Bettor Call Me broke 1.49

It is funny that what made this a great race was a driver making a big error in judgement/pacing

Here is hoping for a small speed explosion at Birchip on Sunday
If a horse can break 2 minutes - they will be creating history

The 1750m Tk Rec is 2.00.0
The 2150m Tk Rec is 2.00.2

Is It Wrong To Be Excited - NO, as Isitwrongtobexcited wins R1 at Birchip and becomes the first horse to break 2mins there

Not only was the 2700m SS record broken in the Trotting Cup but in the other 2200m MS trot, Ser Patrick's 2.00.0 broke the Tk Rec

Good time by now 4yo mare Rogue Wave and the same goes for place-getters Sweet Louise and Eva Mateo (also only a 4yo) in the mares race

Lightly raced, now 4yo mare, Let It Linga got within 0.5 secs of the 1785m Tk Rec when winning by 14m in 1.55.7 at Stawell today
2180m Tk Rec holder Sea Lover was in the race and went to the death but nobody could match the beautifully bred winner

Michael Stanley had a big day as in an earlier race Drain The Swamp had equalled Sea Lover's 2180m Tk Rec winning by 17m in 1.56.3
and later on the program he once again trained and drove 3yo Soho Dow Jones who won by nearly 17m

3 winners was not enough to take the driving honours however as Jackie Barker drove 4

Making up the ground that he did, Letsrockletsroll must have come pretty close to breaking 26 secs at the end of 2240m in R4 at Melton

Mach Shard's 1.49.7 winning the Wagga Cup took a 0.6 sec off the Tk Rec
