Thanks for that Bailey. That really says it all, but none the less, amazing effort! I wonder what condition the track was when Trigger ran 1.48.5?

That should win any day, the winners previous best was 1.53.6.Originally Posted by aussiebreno
Hang on, the previous M0 record was 1.51.2 by Iam Mr Brightside.....that's 4 records in first 4 races
What a gigantic time difference in the stats!! Wow!!!
The winners previous best was when he was 1m behind that previous record
Greg Sugars was a Champion harness racing person
And Beautide was just outside record in Inter final as well
Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on
Us too Danno!! Sorry missed you before you left. Someone very kind took Luke up into the members for that race. He had a prime seat to watch it and glad he did. Thought she had to stop but just kept finding more. A few people standing around me (left in the outer by son) were saying what I was thinking when she kicked clear and race over "Let her run". Guess temptation was to grab hold and ease her down, but let her run she did and that was just breathtaking.
Top 3 time for the distance at that track I would imagine.
Received some interesting observations on Adore Me's time on my email - what do you think?
"Take nothing away from an outstanding performance from Adore Me but direct comparisons based on time is folly. The track was obviously in very good order but environmental conditions were outstanding for running fast time when she raced. Low pressure system, temp in the high 30's extremely humid, not a breath of wind and a thunderstorm imminent means very low air density and is exceptionally conducive to fast times-It doesn't get any better.
Smoken Up's record was in race 9 on a night meeting on the 30 of April. Without looking up the weather records I think it's pretty safe to say that even if the track was as good Smoken Up didn't enjoy the same exceptional climatic conditions for running fast time that Adore Me did."
As mentioned in previous posts, the track was on fire and yes these conditions could be part of the reason for so many records.
Adore Me toyed with them and deserves her record......question is, what would some of our very speedy past Champs have done under similar conditions. As mentioned before with all due respect to the mares, if the first 8 all bettered 1.50, then could our past Champs have gone world record times.
