One track wonder?

[The Form Student]

My point is he is 0.5 seconds outside that mile rate but over 400m further so I am pretty sure he would be able to beat Has The Answers time.

Googled 'fast definition' - not for my benefit but for others benefit - and here is the result; Fast: adjective; moving or capable of moving at high speed.
Where does it say the speed must be sustained for a certain period? But imo ITMQ has the highest high speed therefore he is the fastest.
There's no disputing that mile rate on the board Smoken Up has the fastest mile....but I think ITMQ can move/is capable of moving at higher speed.

Lets trawl back to year high school science/maths. Some posters in here are using time (specifically 1.48) as giving Smoken Up the fastest mantle. But velocity is in fact speed which = fastest. Velocity and time are two different things. So yes Smoken Up may have the better velocity over time (meaning he covers 1609 faster) but for just sheer velocity ITMQ does him.

So yes Smoken Up has the fastest mile rate on the board and thats a more prestigious honour than being the fastest mantle Quinny has, that being the fastest top speed imo.

If you can't see that and need a 200m race ran for you than I give up.

Are you going Wagga trots today? Maybe the fastest horse will be there!

I declare you the winner of this going nowhere discussion!'!!!!!'!!!

Good IDEA!!!ha ha Congrats too super stable picker! Ya mongrel!!!

Brenden, back to high school maths..."speed" is defined as the average velocity from one point to another ie. SU 1.48.5 over 1609 metres.
ITMQ may win the velocity test and definitely the speed test aroung GP's home turn.

Cheers,
Dan.

After his great win in the Interdom, I looked at Quinny's record in Australia and was surprised to see that over the last 2 seasons he has won 1 race at Bunbury and 1 at Cranbourne besides his outstanding record at Gloucester Park.
He has had 7 starts interstate for 1 win.
Australias best pacer....hmmm. WA's best pacer ....no doubt.

So what is the final answer to this thread.

ITMQ might not hold a record at any official race distance at GP but is the fastest horse around the last turn?
Like I said "WA's best pacer"

I wonder what is the official fastest qtr ever recorded in Aust / NZ ?
Anybody know ?

Australia only . Was it Westburn Grant at HP one night when he & another ( Thorate maybe ) battled for the lead ? or was that the fasted lead time . Maybe Island Glow in the Newcastle Mile , Smoken up went 25.7 in his Len Smith 1.48.5 . Hopefully someone will know for sure . I'm just having a guess .

I remember years ago Our Maestro was supposed to have run a furlong at Bankstown in 12 seconds or something in that vicinity. That'd be 202.5 metres in todays lingo.

Smoken Up may have it with his 25.7. Westburn Grant ran 26.2 in the MIracle Mile duel with Thorate.

I think there have been others that have broken 26 out of the gate at Menangle, 26.2 at Harold Park is quick! I think on track size equivalent and radius of turns is faster the Smoken Up!

Auckland Cup + undefeated in Inter in his last trip to NZ.

THe other 7 races:
Cranbourne Cup = winner
Vic Cup = 3rd beat Smoken Up home
Hunter Cup = 3rd run of the race good thing beaten.
Miracle Mile = 3rd burnt out - I doubt being burnt out like that he would have won at Gloucester Park
Popular Alm = 2nd in a track workout, Melpark Major away with murder, probably ran his final 800m in sub 53 and final quarter possibly under 26. Wouldn't have won at Gloucester Park.
Cranbourne Cup = 2nd. As good as Feelgood went that night I don't think Quinny would have lost that at his best and the week later in Vic Cup tells me something was up.
Vic Cup = abolotion. Wouldnt have won at Gloucester Park.

This is the fastest horse in Australian history!.......ITMQ first ID heats against HTA.......last half 54.6 and last 400 in 26.4 at the end of a 1700 metre race in 1:55.8 on GP, not the start of a race when at full flight. This is absolute raw speed! HTA does not have the answer to this!
