The Geelong track had to be fast tonight
The Tk Rec for 1609m is 1.54.2
so to have three races run at < 1.56 is quick
Especially Goodtime Grace who went 1.54.6
(The runs of the placegetters was just as good)

A new track record at Swan Hill tonight
Macelli takes it coming from the 5 spot up the sprint lane in 1.53.4
But only a nose away was Pocket Thedeal who was wide before death-seating

Lochinvar Art 1.48.6 that cannot be right can it ????

That takes over 2 secs off the Tk Rec 1720 MR

That is a faster MR than the 1200m Mercury

Hamilton was the fastest track in the state by 0.1 secs - now in one blow it is 2.0 secs off the pace!

ps Honorable mention to King of Swing taking 5.6 secs off his best MR in his first mile race at Menangle going 1.48.8

I am not sure what the Tk Rec was before this post in Jan last year but as I said that LA took over 2 secs off the record, I have some recollection that it was 1.50.7 (the Hamilton record I refer to is 1.50.6)
Why I bring this up is to wonder whether any other horse (other than Self Assured that finished about 5m behind LA in the Bonanza) has broken 1.50 at Melton. I have to say my memory is average

Eureka's 1.52.6 last night is a serious time but 5/6 runners would have been < 1.53
