Speed Explosion - Track Records and outstanding times

[jimmy777]

A big congratulations to the Penrith Track Staff who prepared the track that produced some great racing tonight.

HRNSW recently held a Track Maintenance Seminar on 20/21 February.

It was conducted at Penrith and we identified a few track preparation improvements.

................................ The focus of the Seminar was cushion equals comfort.

Comfort means horses will perform at their best as they feel no jarring or pain.

We should see similar improvement at many tracks.

Recent track seminar worth every cent!

That's great Adam. It has taken a long time for Australians to grasp that track cushion is not only am must for the comfort and soundness of our horses but also produces faster times.

Port Pirie last night 3 records smashed Timeless Era went 1.53.9 taking 1.6 seconds off the mile record then in the Trotters mile Chuck Wagon went 2.00.5 taking a staggering 24.7 seconds off the record and most probably other class records fell by the wayside.

That was surely flying in the Cup mile Greg, it would seem that at least the first five would have all been under the old record. The old trotters mile record of 2.25 surely had to be a case of only ever racing over that distance once as the long distance 2530m SS record was 2.04

A 2yo filly in year 2000 won $100 by beating one other runner to get the old record.

Her next start 4th of 4 was not so glorious and was her last

A win is a win and a record is a record.

I do not know how I married my missus (of 34yrs) as she always said a film is a film

Mr Cramp sent Spokeswoman down to Horsham today where I saw her smash the 2200m track record by a whole 0.8sec as easy as you like.

Pretty impressive and took a huge chunk off the track record cruising. The commentator sounded a lot like your brother inlaw Kev.
