The tracks have become slower and after ten months, the times near their ceiling for 2016 so there is only one new ‘FOY’ this week, the 29.24 run for Droopys Buick over Nottingham’s 500m.

It is an interesting time for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it is Buick’s fourth appearance on the chart. The other three are for 480 metre trips and only go to emphasise the difference between the tracks ranging from Monmore’s 27.76, to Newcastle’s, 28.23 and Shawfield’s 28.63. Out of interest those times are 28 spots, and 33 spots outside the first two records and three spots inside the old Shawfield clock. The Nottingham run is eight spots outside Sawpit Sensation’s 500m clock.

There is also – possibly – another interesting lesson to be learned. Despite racing at both tracks several times previously, Buick’s Newcastle and Nottingham times have been recorded in his last two races, the 32nd and 33rd races of a dog who celebrates his third birthday this month.
