Astronomical sets free-legged world record

Return Home
June 27, 2007 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Astronomical became the fastest free-legged pacer in history with a 1:50 victory Tuesday night at Georgian Downs, an effort that also established a new all-age track record at the Ontario five-eighths mile oval. The former world mark for free-legged pacers was 1:50.1, set by Luvm N Leavem at Hawthorne Race Course in 2002.

Astronomical, a 5-year-old son of Astreos, was driven by Randy Waples. They led at every call (:26.3, :55.1 and 1:22.1) before closing it out with a final stanza of :27.4 to hold off Our Lucky Killean by three-quarters of a length. The effort came in a $15,000(C) division of the Masters Pacing Series.

Astronomical is owned by trainer Dr. Ian Moore, William Shearer and RG McGroup Ltd.
