Looking at the list and seeing Bond on top prompts me to mention that I was very recently looking at the run-home times at Sandown 515. When Bond ran his 29.38 in the Shootout and 29.40 or whatever in a full field the following week, he ran final sections of 10.51 and 10.50 respectively. Let me tell you that this is really going. I am sure that it would not be the fastest run-home but the best I can find is Sky Hazzard who ran 10.48 in October 06. Let me tell you that there are some pretty good and strong dogs who have not been able to run the times of Sky Hazzard and Bond, that is, Group 1 dogs. I looked up quite a few. I know that Sandown does not have a 600 but just imagine what sort of time Bond might have run for 600 or did he have a go and I am not aware. I could look it up but I let someone else tell me. To be honest I am not sure how he went at The Meadows where there is a 600..
