Speed Explosion - Track Records and outstanding times

Shards of Ice now holds the Hamilton 1660 record after rating 1.53.9 today. I reckon this track will provide a 1.52 soon enough

Did they really mean to say class record? 2400 Menangle record MR is 1.54, 3.7 sec faster than Frith's rate.

Yeah, and interestingly Whereibylong quicker in the 3yos.

It has been a while since we have had an explosion but we had one today at Cobram
4yo mare Earth Angel is the new 1670m Track Record holder after winning in 1.54.7
This was a whole .4 secs faster than the old record

I am in Melbourne for a couple of days and you guys are asleep at the wheel
Just updating my database and I notice that a 2yo now holds the 1750m Track Record at Swan Hill (admittedly it is slower than the 2240 Rec and we are talking about a new track)
Aldebaran Brandi rated 1.57.2 to take the Record last Thursday


Classy Guys 1.55.4 at Maryborough that same day was only 1 sec off their Rec

Jilliby Master's 1.55.4 at Horsham today came within 0.1 of the Track Record. Fair effort as she had to work a bit early and was not really pushed winning by 21m

Glenferrie EJ smashed the Geelong 2100m MS record in the C3-4 tonight - bringing to an end Upanatom's unbeaten Aussie record
He rated 1.56.2 obliterating the old record of 1.57

Josh Aiken may have some explaining to do for his drive on Buy Chevron Direct who attacked Upanatom unmercifully for the lead

The lead time was 33.2 The other lead times for the night have been 36.9, 37.6 (Tr), 36.5, 41.4 (Tr SS), 37.3, 35.4 (Tr)

The Q's were 30.4, 29.6, 29.0, 29.4

Buy Chevron Direct finished 26.7m behind the winner and 21.5m behind the 2nd placed Upanatom

ps That last lead time of 35.4 was fast for a trotter and Dora Pepperell did a good job to hold on and win (she did get a 33.3 Q after that)

Got off with a warning (horse pulling would have been excuse)

I was on track at Goulburn yesterday that was a good race. Bullochbuie wasn't that far of winning. Mind you it wasn't that far away last time in goulburn either from memory.
