Bold Eagle's winning MR in the Prix d'Amerique was a touch under 1.54.9 for 2700m walk up start.
That is not much more than Keystone Del's 1720 MS record at Melton. Vastly different tracks of course.

(I wonder what the French make of our telecasts to them when they are used to such reliable trotters and such quality pics)
