Manganello's 1.54.4 for the mile at Geelong tonight was just outside the Tk Rec of 1.54.2

3yo novices seem to smash it at Yarra Glen
Yesterday first starter Holy Basil's 1.54.2 at his first ever start was only 0.1 outside the Tk Rec

That record is held by Emma Stewart's Our Millionaire who claimed the record at his 2nd start
That was the somewhat controversial race where Alford on the Lilley runner hindered the Aiken fav at the start

2.03.3 MR was enough to score Pantz Up a new Tk Rec in Echuca's trotters cup on Friday night - her 7th win in a row
The time may not seem very quick but it is a 800m track and they were racing over 2530m from the Stand

Flitting around the net I noticed that Waiona has held the Terang 2180m Tk Rec since Feb 2009!
Waiona ended up winning $136k , notching up his M0 the next season and a couple of years after that won a Hobart Cup
1.56.6 for a 4yo back then was a good time but since then Glenferrie Hood has rated 1.56.3 for 2680m winning the Terang Cup in 2016
Maybe they can lower Waiona's mark at the Cup meet but the class of race covering the distance this Saturday makes it seem like the record will live on (especially with no first half sectionals requirement)

Hurricane Harley sets a new Tk Rec for 2190m at Shep
1.54.1 by the 3yo took a whole 0.8 secs off

Fair effort by Lochinvar Art

I must have had a premonition that it would be a night for records ( and thus I finally made it to Terang )

4 Records broken

Jackierabbit in a lowly C0 breaks that old 2180m record (this is a serious horse)

Mclovin breaks the record for the Trotters Cup (the Gaths next star trotter)

Maretai breaks the Pacing Cup record

Tam Major the 1680m record

Sicario's 1.55.7 for 2080m in the $25k listed Eastern Challenge at Cranbourne tonight was just good enough to take the minimum off the Tk Rec

While in the very next race Monty Python's 2.00.3 in the Trotters Cup is being credited as a new Tk Rec but I think it only equalled Tornado Valley's MR for the 2555m and TV's gross time was 0.1 faster

Hamilton got what they hoped for by putting on the Glen Miles Memorial Mile for $14k today

Jilliby Chevy smashed the Tk Rec for 1660m rating 1.50.6

He drew inside the 2nd row and spent some time in the death so in my book it was the equivalent of a sub 1.50

It was nearly the fastest country track in Victoria before today and now it holds the mantle by a good way
