1.47.7 from the death
Speechless
Unbelievable, So much for getting down near 1.50. All hail ADORE ME!!!
I hate SKY, potentially a world record for a mare and have to put up with some crap distance race from Bathurst :-(
My sentiment exactly. Words can't really describe how pissed off I am about this coverage of the so called best card of harness racing in Australia.Quote:

Yes that's a real bummer Mark, They should have stayed with Menangle and flicked Bathurst over to Sky 2.Quote:

I am trying Kyle's 9/Win tip now but overall I think today has been a mistake - too much competition unless we follow the Netball lead
9/Win is the go
Astonishing!!! Will the record be broken within the next four years?
It would be nice if we had the MM in a fortnight's time with Beau v Adore
Would be a mighty race Kev!!
That would be a race of like to see... Who wins?
Adore Me: Wow..... We should have kept Dayspring..foaled in Australia in 1906.
Branches of this family are still about in Victoria: descendants of Amfloo as well as Gentle Brook

Looks like another one of those NZ families that was started in Australia from a mare imported from the US.
Went down for a look and to catch up with a couple of bonza blokes today......Adore Me, jesus H christ! first three quarters in pretty much 27 flat, 27 flat, 27 flat and then she let her loose!!!!!!! home in 26.5! the most amazing performance by a horse I have ever witnessed...amazing, amazing!
Words can't describe it , she was 3 and4 wide the first 500 metres till she got to the death ! What would she have run against the pegs?Quote:

Watching the way the super mare went today I don't think there would be any horse currently racing in Australasia that would of got within a length of her today. Beautides win was impressive but I think the mighty mare stole the show, to reel off that last quarter of 26.5 after doing all the work outside the leader just left everybody speechless.
I hope we get to see a lot more of her here in Aus because she is a very special and gifted standardbred.
The most amazing run for the day!
Maybe ever on an Australian track!
For all my negativity AM and Beau were just unbelievable.
I think Adore Me could have ran a world record time for aged mares on a 1400m (7/8 mile) track. The only faster time I can find was on a mile track. Can anyone on here confirm or disprove this ? Thanks.
I thought it was a great days racing and the club should be congratulated. Was a bit disappointed with the ID final , not enough moves for my liking !
I will blame that on Morgan too - who is going to go next when HERCULES gives upQuote:

Ash, make that the most amazing RACE any day. The first 8 mares all broke 1.50Quote:

Thare amazing!! Was the track on fire before the weather changed?Quote:

The 3yo filly's Oaks also set a new world record of 1.54.2 to beat La Machane's 1.56.7 by 2.3 seconds also over 2400m
And Adore Me breaks Smoken Up's record by 0.8 seconds
That was 3 records in the first 4 races.
Race 5 the Derby missed the record for 3yo colts/geldings by 0.2 seconds
That either a super fast track or clock
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?
Saloon Passage runs 1.50.7, home in 27.1 in an M0 and gets beat. Fast track!
That should win any day, the winners previous best was 1.53.6.Quote:

What a gigantic time difference in the stats!! Wow!!!
The winners previous best was when he was 1m behind that previous recordQuote:

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.Quote:

"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.Quote:
