I believe young Luke said Lady Rocknrolla broke the Elmore track record. Pretty impressive for a 3yo filly racing parked.

It is only a once a year meet but she took 3.1 seconds off the Tk Rec
Everything that went faster than 2.01 for 1780m or faster than 2.02 for 2180m broke the previous Tk Recs
So Upanatom's 1.58.9 also smashed the longer distance record by 3.1 seconds
Love The Aces 2.07.3 in the Trotters Cup even smashed the Tk Rec

We saw a new Tk Rec and another equalled at Stawell today but with relatively new race distances this is always more likely to happen

Horses would seem to not mind the heat as it got to 39.8°

She kept up the pace again tonight with her 1.55.9 only ½ sec off the Echuca Tk Rec

With multiple records broken at Elmore after I wrote that I was wondering if it might have been a case of get the trundle wheel out, but another near track record lends considerable credence to the Elmore performance. The Echuca replay seems to have been misplaced.
