Some of them are online in their respective clubs sites.. Others just arent. I have never found a full database sadly, and would love to (Lady Frisco had 3 of them!).

The best I can say is that STC (http://www.theraces.com.au/web/Racing/Records/p1_RaceDistanceRecords.aspx?section=379) has the most comprehensive database of them (Rosehill and Canterbury). Everywhere else tends to stick to track records only.

Worst case scenario is needing to contact each club individually and see if they can fax the lists to you.

After a quick browse and some searching I found a document with the majority of the course records but I can't find anywhere that has class/course records.

used to have a book once that had them all in. (current to that time)
will have a look for them.
may have even transferred to a spreadsheet will look there too.
will respond either way during the week.

It is frustrating. I have actually always found that getting any info on times, records, etc for horses is akin to a hair in a pile of needles. Just end up wishing you never started looking.


I was thinking about doing one myself actually. Nice little database of Track and Course/Class records. Database of well known horses and their fastest times over distances with influencing factors like weight and track conditions.

Then I realised it would be a migraine to complie, and a headache to maintain. :(

Racenet's club sites keep the track records. STC is marvelously maintained. If only more sites did that.

Hi!
I actually have the fastest (not the track record) time for all tracks and distances for the last 6 years, according to track condition.
If it is of any help I can post it.
Cheers

Hi!
Here it is.
Caution!! these are not track records and are not sorted according to class of race! I have done that in the past and I must say, it makes very little difference. Some lower class races produce faster times than the higher classes.
These are simply the fastest times recorded in the last six years on track in the condition provided by the race clubs.
If you look closely you will find some anomalies, like a faster time on a heavy than on good track etc. I put it down to, not so much, as being a better class of race than that there was a mistake in identifying the track condition or a mistake in the data entry.
99.99999% of the times it is correct, well, as correct as any of us can be sure of, being provided the right info. in the first place.
Also there are a lot of odd distances ran on some tracks, just disregard them if they are of no use.
Hope you can make some use of it?
Cheers
