Some fantastic times run at Menangle tonight

3yo champ Leap To Fame 1.49.0
2yo filly Major Delight 1.50.3
I Cast No Shadow 1.48.8 and Honolua has been very brave running his best ever time (the same is probably true for the next 2)

Not only did she obliterate the Australasian record, Major Delight became the third fastest two-year-old filly in the world.

2yo fillies breaking the open Tk Rec in consecutive races at Maryborough this afternoon is verging on ridiculous

As expected the Shep Tk Rec was broken tonight by Mach Dan going 1.59.1

The old record was held by Ideal Star
Did he go to the US with Leonidas?
His last start in 2020, he was beaten by Leonidas, while the previous start when he broke the Tk Rec saw Leonidas run second

In the 3yo at Charlton today Double The Hunter rated 1.55.5 for the 2100m
That is only 0.5 outside Bondi Lockdown's Tk Rec!
He is out of Camlach!!

R9 Interest Free and R11 Serg Blanco both took 0.1 secs off the Geelong 2100m Tk Rec
After Act Now had already blitzed the 2570m Rec

Just noticed Serg Blanco's MR has been reduced to 1.55.1 BUT Interest Free had the exact same Gross Time so something is not right

1.52.2 for 2240m by 2yo Colt The Lost Storm is mind boggling.
It is only 1.1 secs off the Open Tk Rec (set by a 3yo mind you)
Lets not forget that he drew the second line and spent 800m either 3wide or in the death
and won by 37m in a Gp1 on a 1,000m track

I think Dan said - "maybe the best run you will ever see by a 2yo"

In R1 at Shep tonight 9yo Zahven Banner notched up his 18th win.
He has moved around a bit and tonight he had only been in the Connolly stable a week
His 1.54.9 for 2190m was only 0.8 secs outside Hurricane Harley's Tk Rec

In R5 Outlaw Man's 1.53.1 was only 1.2 secs outside Mach Dan's Tk Rec for 1690m
