    It is ridiculously hard to find out class records for Melton
    I think the racebook is the only way (obviously to be printed there, they must be on file somewhere!)

    The only racebook I could find lying around is over a year old but going on that
    the 2yo C&G 2240m record dated back to 2016 with Our Little General rating 1.55.2
    so The Highlight Reel beat that going 1.54.7 last night

    But my old racebook indicates that the fastest 2yo for the distance is actually the fillies record of 1.54.4 by Party On also on the same night as OLG in 2016

    PP is right about the SA Botra Southern Stars doing nothing for SA harness racing.
    You have the Stewart/Tonkin stable send one over for a week to win a heat and then the $50k final
    On the same program you have four $6,999 races and three $4,500 races

    PP has an article about Clayton Tonkin's record with 2yo's so far this season simply too good to be true with 14 of 18 having won
    His winning strike rate is 55% while his place strike rate is 85%
    It is certainly extraordinary
    They regularly start at $1.05 in their first start. Once upon a time no 2yo would ever be those odds at their first start as their race day manners were too big an unkown

    Starting in 10 minutes and only half hour between heats - should be good racing
    Not many fillies need to be eliminated before Semi's but with 5 heats of C&G, I imagine the boys need to finish first four

    I love to look at the breeding for the 2yo's
    The 2nd heat of the C&G's was an interesting one
    The winner Always Hot drifted out to $1.90
    Third place New Shuffle was $119
    Both by good stallions out of mares that are half sisters who both won over $130k

    It will be interesting to follow both their careers
