Amazing to think that Safari's Tk Rec and winning rate of 1.55.6 in the Cup in 2007 is 2.1 secs faster than Christen Me went and it was to be Safari's career best MR - over the long distance of 2650m. Running time over a distance was certainly his go.
I know Christen Me could have gone considerably faster but there has been considerable improvements in sulkies and the track in 7yrs as well
