Length of the straight...Dainty's Daughter.Miss Dundee a bonny staying mare with an Easter Cup win over 2 miles back when it was a serious race and many other wins, Empress Stakes etc ...but with Dainty's, we are talking genuine super star. I mean, can you imagine the impact of her running a World Record over 2 miles from the stand (2.3.5 rate), breaking the great Johnny Globes previous effort.....on just a less than half mile track......and coming from last to swamp the filed in the Freo Cup at Richmond on that tiny saucer.....or running an unheard of 1.57.3 or whatever it was in the Meteor Mile. And in those days, WA Fast Class ranks were something else....the mighty atom Radiant Oro, Renaud etc. Loved Miss Dundee and Maxxy but Daintty's in a class of her own.
