Womby 55 Report post Posted August 7, 2020 2200 metres run in 2.38.44 and 2.38.70 Hardly a mention made of these stunning times and even the trotters ran 47 from a stand. What a rise in standard of both the animal and the tracks we race on I guess. Not that long ago 42 was a quick time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenz 1,088 Report post Posted August 7, 2020 I wonder with horses getting faster and faster if there will be a time when they will be finished before they start..........there must be a time when they reach a limit of what's physically possible.

newbie85 94 Report post Posted August 7, 2020 I would have thought that the RIU would have questioned the drive of the winner. Complete change of tactics from previous week. More stake money this week may have been reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way the black type, 2 minute barrier achievement should be long gone from sales catalogues or pedigree records. Even the better 2yo trotters are doing that these days.
