Unfortunately for The Lagoon trainer Amanda Turnbull her colt Shoobee Doo finished at the tail of that bunch in Saturday’s Group 2 Menangle event.

Shane and Lauren Tritton’s Muscle Factory ($1.55) was simply too good as he led from start to finish in the $50,000 race, while six metres away Lochinvar Art ($3.30) pipped Shoobee Doo ($7.50) for second what looked at first like a dead heat.

It was a record shattering performance for Muscle Factory who became the first Australasian three-year-old colt or gelding to break the 1:50 mile rate, coming home in 1:49.6 to better Vincent’s previous mark by over half a second.

The last half was a scorching 53.1.

The place runs were still impressive – especially that of Lochinvar Art who made a mid race move from the rear of the field – with times that would have rivalled Vincent’s mark.
