Reply With QuoteReplay of Shep Cup is messed up Kev but I’d say Breno would have had something on Brallos Pass e/w
Im The Boss took a big chunk off the Shep 2690m Tk Rec tonight when he beat stablemate Lenny in the Cup.
Another stablemate Hector owned the old record with a 1.57.5 MR which ITB has reduced to 1.56.1

Across the border the big event of the night - the APG 2yo Fillies Final saw Soho Nolita rate 1.53.0
Bloody quick but thanks to Club Menangle making all class of records available to the public, I can tell you it is a bit short of Heavens Trend's 1.52.1 Australasian Record for the 2yoF
( Why can't Melton provide their class records online - I have asked so many times, I can only figure it is because they are useless or don't care)

The Shepp Cup was a great spectacle. Video replay still not corrected unfortunately. Lenny just as inspiring as if he'd won. Taking nothing away from I'm The Boss but Lenny in the death and possibly short of a run, taking on Cruz Bromac, fought so tenaciously down the straight and just missed owning the track record. I think the crowd were pretty proud of Lenny, didn't matter that much he didn't win. The proud owners of Im The Boss also humbled in defeating Lenny, was a nice, genuine, gesture.
On the entertainment and attendance side of the cup meeting, I thought a very good crowd especially considering the rerun and cooler weather this time. Don't know what the attendance numbers were but going by the car parking, it looked very good. Was a happy, fun, family, exciting vibe. A real party atmosphere. Pretty well the perfect night
Bring on the next rotation of Inter Dom heats!

While I don't feel as strongly as Kev about it he wants 'Class' records.
The Wagga Cup demolition job by Our Triple Play severely depleted the Brallos Pass punting kitty so I didn't have a cent on him, but good to see him run a very good race in this grade!
I have been asking HRV for 'Class records' not just Tk records for years David - with promises received but no result (hence my harsh assessment). If Menangle can do it why can't we?
It goes hand in hand with promoting our champions. Eg a 2yo runs a brilliant time - it may be the best ever for a 2yo but we are not to know as we only have Open class Tk records to compare it to to
I think I know about the link you provided David as I started this thread nearly 5 years ago and many of its 500+ posts are mine . It is actually on my bookmarks bar. I think the fact that it has had over 150,000 views suggests people would be interested in Class records too

Would help fillies/ mares a hell of a lot with breeding in mind, I’m all for it Kev
You will see at the bottom of page 1 of the following thread that Cody Winnell thought we would have class records by now

If you look at what RISE is responsible for nowadays

Maybe they are to blame for not being up to the same standard as Menangle

Just checked the link. If the link represents what RISE is responsible for NOWADAYS, you could draw a simple conclusion.
Not a lot in the past 7 years.
