On my reckoning a 2yo at a meeting for non winners has broken Menin Gate's Tk Rec at Maryborough today

Yep Clubs and Tracks page, now confirming it was a Tk Rec
Who will ever believe the connections of 2nd placed Amendment Thirteen when they tell the story of how when he was a 2yo having his first start he equalled or broke the open age Tk Rec on a rain affected track at a meeting for non winners and yet he was beaten

Early season 3yo Shez All Rock wins her first ever start rating 1.53.7 (The Tk Rec is 1.52.1)

Shandale. Unbelievable 1.51.8 on Gloucester park last night! Track and state record!!! He's nommed for inters and I heard word that people thought he was leagues off Lenny and co but a run like that cements his chances
Actually chances are the time is wronf. Hold tight
Yep 1.53.8 still nothing to sniff at Attachment 762
Must have been a fast track because Jambiani also went 1.53.8 for the 2130m
It seems you were right the first time Katie
"Despite doing the work in a very hotly-run race, Shandale smashed the clock and powered to a 1.8m win over Ideal Tyson with classy sit-sprinter Heez On Fire in third spot.
Despite some queries over the timing on the race, the official result shows Shandale’s mile rate at a track record 1min51.8sec for the 1730m."

Ararat results saying NTR for Sweet Wise's 1.57.9 BUT the Clubs & Tracks page for Ararat reminds us that Witzend has the record of 1.57.2 SO I am not sure what is going on there

Ameretto's 1.51.5 at Melton is seriously quick (Tk Rec is 1.50.8)
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...ic#MXM22091704
Chicago Bull impressive again 1.53.5 an excellent MR for 2130m on an 800m track
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...17#GPM22091737
Yes, Chicago Bull won that race from the wide alley, won easily against a fairly handy field.
Ameretto, Soho Tribeca and MR MOJITO, now that would be a good clash, Mr Mojito was very impressive last night.

Track surface was soft going very good time for a track that wasn't fast on the night.
9 of the horses in that race have nominated for the ID and all are in the top 50 and CB won by 10m
Don Pierre breaks Island Glow's 20 year old record for the mile at Cranbourne, rating 1:53.7
The replay is up now. If you are wondering about the breeding - the sire Diedre Don (Sundon) is more of a modest trotting sire
Here is the NZ link to the winner

This pacer also had a very fast time at Addington in June, running 1:57:3 for the 1950m
Unhoppled pacer Feel The Rhythm went 1:57.5 at Warragul today. I wonder what the quickest runs have been by an unhoppled pacer in Australia?
Thank you. I had a quick look on the HRA site but no luck

I think this 1.54.2 mile by Sluggem tonight broke Geelong's Tk Rec of 10 years standing
Didn't look that quick, he did cart a few up with him as well.
Chicago Bull broke the Gloucester Park track record going 1.51.6 last night, with Soho Tribeca coming a head second after facing the breeze. Looking forward to a very exciting Interdominion, based on the horses we have in WA at the moment.
Also of note is WA newcomer Soky's Bigbullet going 1.54.8 for the 2130m stand for the Svilicich stable.
Good to see only one favourite winning as well. Makes the racing more exciting for sure
Probably went better than expected but not sure how everybody missed Sokys. I took $4 Fixed and he starts $7. 😓
Last season I believed Lazarus could possibly be the best of all time (my lifetime at least). After his first up win I thought he was back to near his best and while Chicago Bull had been excellent I couldnt see him beating Lazarus. Soho Tribeca atways been a star but the step up to Grand Circuit racing was still an unknown and I thought he was a better run than Chicago Bull a couple weeks ago so I had Lazarus pencilled in for ID success. But after last night the Bull and Tribeca could be every bit as good as Lazarus imo.
Them three and Lenny could provide another Jofess like finish!
They are extraordinary times for an 804.5m track - they have taken just about a full second off the Track Record
(BigBullet's race was a mobile)
Good drive by Hall jnr for positioning at the start of the race. The Bull will take some stopping this year in the ID, Lenny the legend will put the acid on him though. Soho Tribeca is such a good horse and a pleasure to watch with that beautiful gait. My hard copy has been disappointing and has come back a different horse this prep.
San Carlo's 1.56.6 MR for 2690M in today's Maryborough Cup broke the Tk Rec
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...ic#MHC29101701
Looks like he has had his break out race and is getting better ever time he steps out on the track.
6yo mare Siliqua, having her first start for the Gath stable, pulled herself to the lead down the back and ran 26.7 for Q3 before finishing with the MR of 1.55.7 for 2150m, only 0.1 outside the YV Tk Rec
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...ic#YGC07111701
The track must have been very fast at Swan Hill last night
In R5 Babalaas Jack set a new Tk Rec for 2240m going 1.55.9
and then in R6 Ideal Success came out and bettered that going 1.55.7
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...D071117&ms=vic
Lenny took nearly 5 secs off Restrepo's Tk Rec MR for 2650m from last year in the YV Cup today. Over that distance, it would equate to about 100m !
