    Course Record Breakers

    Seems these days the Racing Post Analysis can't be bothered to tell us when a horse breaks a course record, speed figures don't tell us everything and the latest was Zaynar(Fr), last week @ Ascot

    [The Racing Post website results section did though with the latest:

    On the AW, most recently, 4 of note:

    Capucci - yet to run since breaking 7f record @ Wolverhampton in early Oct 09 - 2nd & 3rd both won since.

    Gitano Hernando - 8.5f Wolverhampton Sept 09, followed up in a Grade one at Santa Anita & then never turned up at the Breeders' Cup meeting, hopefully going to Dubai Carnival & 10f expected to suit.

    Jaconet - recent 6f Lingfield record breaker & scored again CD last week.

    Seek The Fair Land - shaved 1/3rd of a second off a 3 year record over 7f @ Kempton Dec 09

    I might do something like below for the AW but for now, the Racing Post have just added Wetherby Standard Times to their site after the course has been relaid of late, rather like Ascot & Kempton. I'm not altogether sure but as these records are quite recent they are likely to get beat by any decent prospect quite often - I'll try & keep this updated & make a note of when any of these are set to run again.

    2.05 Newb Sat 28th Nov

    Au Courant(Ire)
    - frsh

    H'mm is set to run here after breaking Kempton 20f Crse Rec last time he ran - have seen he is favourite on at least one betting forecast but I'm not happy with that - the only experience of Left handed tracks is winning a 5 runner NHF race at Worcester on his career debut & being blinkered first time & jumped poorly & Pulled Up behind Chapoturgeon(Fr) in last season's Jewson Novice H'cap @ Chelt.

    Trainer may well be bang in form & won the corresponding race last year but at least with Classic Fiddle there was some previous Left handed track form - I'd oppose Au Courant today with one that has -

    J J O'Neil has a fine - 2 wins 1 place from 6 runners - record in this race and his runner, Isn't That Lucky, stayed on strongly to snatch second in the above race at Cheltenham - EW me thinks!

    Another fine balls up - Scots Dragoon 26.5f 'gd Newb ran yesterday too, I only noticed too late (ruddy work) but thought, better Right handed, prefers shorter trip & better ground & thought he had less chance than Au Courant so ran quite well considering to be 2nd & 24l's back to the third, he'll be winning again before long!

    Yep, definitely doing a list for the AW, this little lot of the most recent course record breakers on the AW have produced a decent priced winner in each of the last three weeks.

    Horses emboldened are the latest track record breakers, red signifies recent win since:

    Find it slightly interesting that Friday's winner Falcativ is with the same trainer as recent Wolverhampton record breaker, Gitano Hernando, Marcu Botti

    After the Peterborough Chase that's 6 wins since taking Kempton's 2m hurdle crse rec in Nov 07 for Deep Purple - Well Chief still holds a similar record (2m hurdle) from 2003!

    Course records are pretty meaningless to me as they change the size of the racetrack without telling anyone, and as far as I'm concerned all hand timed records should be seperate from the electronic ones.

    Got a runner today 1.10 Southwell

    The 5f Crse Rec holder Godfrey Street turns out in what looks a hot ? little race for the course - his record since breaking the track record in Jan 08 stands at W 3 / Pl 3 / Rn 16 - the wins were at 11/4, 16/1 & 11/1 so he has been profitable to follow & though he is on a bit of a losing run he is now on a career low mark, ran into a place last time & has won the last two January's & feel his time is near again. Interesting jockey booking too, though he's never ridden him before, A Hefferman has been placed 5 from 10 of his latest mounts at the track - I have seen 14/s fc so far & that could be worth an EW shout.

    Nothing is ever simple is it? I'd love to be shouting win win in the 3.40 @ Ascot but there is something statistically wrong here; the vast majority of Henderson's recent winners had 26 or more days to their last run - the less than 1 in 7 or 5 out of 38 that did manage a win when running <26 days were all clear favourite in fields with less than 12 runners.

    I can't be any more optimistic than say EW or just place I'm afraid.

    Kempton's 12f Crse Record Holder, Falcativ goes again today in the 4.15 & while he's 3/3 100% on the AW may as well stick with him, best priced 10/3 with Skybet & VC

    Actually got a winner yesterday & hopefully, while there is less racing & I get more organised (missed a 6/1 from 10/s winner in Young Dottie a couple of Monday's ago) there should be less chance of me missing them but

    Our most recent record breaker Seek The Fair Land runs again over CD Kempton 3.05 Be lucky to get anything above evens but looks pretty much unopposable to me!

    Well I never! Nick Mordin is in agreement with you, at least over the jumps - he says in this week's Weekender:

    "I finally understood that it is basically impossible to make accurate speed ratings for jump races. - - Over the jumps however, the official distances of races are allowed to differ by as much as 50 yards per circuit from what's advertised. And that's in Britain - in Ireland they have so little respect for race distances nobody even bothers to keep course records."

    Theoretically then, our little list of AW course record breakers should produce more winners?

    Does that mean Kauto Star has no chance of winning a race where he broke the Course Record last year? Or will the 2m Course Record holder, Deep Purple prove too speedy & topple the great? Got a few more runners entered up over the weekend, will Kauto be the only winner? I'll be back......

    4 Runners today:

    2.55 Winc - Scots Dragoon Safe for a place me thinks.

    3.05 Kemp - Kauto Star (a fourth win would be a befitting end to a pretty historic year) & Deep Purple (has won 6 times since his 2m hurdle course record win here but this is his toughest assignment yet, has EW claims!)

    3.40 Kemp - Dover's Hill Got a feeling this is a 'spring' horse but could still be worth doing EW

    Bit unlucky with Dover's Hill coming down at the last while still in with a serious chance.

    2.40 Newbury

    Two runners in Lough Derg & Fair Along but if I was forced to have a bet in this race it would have to be Diamond Harry

    Had a couple of runners (3 in fact) since last post but nothing that has struck me as worth betting on but today strikes me as different:

    Young Dottie Lingfield 2.30 12/s with Ladbrokes EW could prove worthwhile.

    It's no wonder they called it off at Doncaster today - the ground must be like a road.

    Two course records from what I can work out yesterday - Mostly Bob & King Of The Night took 5 seconds off the old ones & the former's was twenty years old.

    I wouldn't get too carried away with them (famous last words beckons but) as that's the kind of ground that can wreck a horses legs - I note neither Wogan or Killyglen have won since their course record run at the same track last year.

    One for the notebook would be Adam's Island - the horse that beat Mostly Bob [on my figs was 9lb clear top rated on that run & sure bolstered the form] last time.

    I've not got a clue what is happening at Doncaster & or, the Racing Post these days - neither of those two Crse Recs have been recognised or acknowledged by the RP & nor the latest either:

    We seem to have kissed & made up at the RP - - we're at least talking again & Always Right has been accredited his course record:

    Please also find Dave Edward's response to your query over the Always Right's Grimthorpe Chase time.

    "Yes, it was a course record but really it is for information purposes only and not much credence should be paid to it as rail realignment more than likely contributed to it. Records particularly over jumps have questionable relevance with all the rail changes which either shrink or stretch our elasticated courses. Not ideal but we are where we are."

    No messing about this time - the GS 9lb clear top rated (on their running in the Glenfarclas non-h'cap Nov 10 CD was 14lb better off for a 5l's beating) leads the way for a 1,2 for his figures a duly takes 11 seconds off a 5-year-old Course Record - cracking run by the second trying to give 17lb to the winner.....

    I dunno, I should be ordering trumpets & announcing a fanfare for greatness achieved -

    If the King George hadn't been moved into January this year, then Long Run would have been the first 5yo for 60 years to win it and he did so in a time faster than 3 of Kauto Star's. Then he becomes the first 6yo to win a Gold Cup, in course record time too, amazing, brilliant....

    3:20 - totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase Grade 1

    3m2½f, Class 1, £285,050.00

    1 Long Run 7/2F
    2 Denman 8/1
    3 Kauto Star 5/1

    TIME 6m 29.70s (fast by 9.30s)
    Jockey: Mr S Waley-Cohen

    New course record.

    But all it revealed to me - things were going just dandy (bar the official going description for Weds, when it was a lot softer) while we were using the Old course up until Friday - I had no reason to question anything, then they started using the New course & the results came in and it was all downhill from there...

    How can a horse break a 10 year-old course record, beat absolute legends in the process, carry 11lb more than the winner (officially rated 145 with a 7lb claimer on) of the Grand Annual & come away with a 2lb/pt higher speed figure, according to the Racing Post

    Seems to me that the standard times used by the RP for the New Course - it's just one big can o' worms which has been doing my ever since, it's an insult to the horse....

    Ground must be drying out as dropping like flies, these course records & hard to know what to make of a 12yo when it it was the only chase on the card:

    3:30 - TurfTV Handicap Chase

    3m5f, Class 4, £3,252.50
    1 Arnold Layne 3/1

    TIME 7m 12.09s (slow by 1.09s)
    Jockey: Andrew Thornton
    Trainer: Caroline Bailey

    New course record time.

    & I can see the poor fellows at the Racing Post scratching their heads & maybe having t revise their standards for Kempton (again) after:

    3:50 - SFS Intec New Generation Handicap Hurdle

    2m5f, Class 3, £4,608.79
    1 Pere Blanc 7/2F

    TIME 5m 1.40s (fast by 3.60s)

    Course record.

    Some strange goings on at Hexham yesterday - the ground was supposed to be good/soft & quite a decent card for the course with a fair few 120's on show but how a couple of horses manage to run 100lb better than the rest, God alone knows - this race was run 2.50 seconds faster than standard - the next best was slow by 21 seconds?

    Owned by the McGoldrick Partnership, looks like h'cap Queen, Sue Smith, has got another 'fun' horse ?

    New course record.

    But all it revealed to me - things were going just dandy (bar the official going description for Weds, when it was a lot softer) while we were using the Old course up until Friday - I had no reason to question anything, then they started using the New course & the results came in and it was all downhill from there...

    How can a horse break a 10 year-old course record, beat absolute legends in the process, carry 11lb more than the winner (officially rated 145 with a 7lb claimer on) of the Grand Annual & come away with a 2lb/pt higher speed figure, according to the Racing Post

    Seems to me that the standard times used by the RP for the New Course - it's just one big can o' worms which has been doing my ever since, it's an insult to the horse....
    This little fiasco just cost my Over The Jumps thread a 3/1 winner today - as stuck between those two races was the Foxhunter run over the same CD as Gold Cup - I suppose the RP couldn't accord Long Run a worthy speed figure without giving Zemsky one either, whose race was made by the pace setting Baby Run, whose rating I should have upped but after all the head-scratching just got left, he should have been a clear top rated today & not a joint top - maybe we get some money back with Zemsky.......???

    Talk of the devil but how we're supposed to rate this up when there's only one race over the track on the day but it looks as if we're looking for fast ground horses in tomorrow's National -

    Always Waining just took 6 seconds off the previous course record in today's Topham -

    MUST REMEMBER

    In future, what a great record Juvenile Record Breakers have in the 1,000 Guineas as it's one stat usual pundits don't show but

    both the last two 1,000G's have been won by course record breaking fillies & yesterday from three qualifiers, a 22/1 third as well.

    Fascinating contest today at Chester, what with humble Musselbrough course record breaker, Harris Tweed, of last year taking on the one-time Derby favourite, St Nicholas Abbey, in the Ormonde...

    The form Aidan O'Brien is in against Haggas at present & the stats suggest the latter is the value bet but who knows?

    I've lost track somewhat with this during the recent dry spell, just about every race at Ffos Las was a course record the other day but what with there being 8 meets for two days running, no chance of keeping up with it but yesterday & even this doesn't tell the whole story as the h'cap winner Common Touch wasn't far behind & with weight for age taken into account comes out better on the figures:

    It might be that North Star Boy who had Charles The Great 9l's behind last time is the major find here but here is a great way to identify a top notch 2yo -

    It should be safe to assume that Bated Breath ran to his mark of 108 while breaking the track record here but while carrying the same weight & on only his second start, Charles The Great, was not far behind in taking the juvenile equivalent - this little technique worked fine with Strong Suit last year - and the weight-for-age scale at this time of year gives the 2yo anything up to 23lb over his elder but can't see him reversing the form with North Star Boy though but can see him landing a pattern class race during this season.

    He was actually my top rated on that run here but I couldn't see him beating 5 previous winners on only his 2nd start but

    There's one I missed going today in the 3.25 Newm with the same stable as Codemaster above. I reckon he's got in on a fair enough mark:
