It took over 50 years to lower the mark by 10 seconds.

So much of harness times has depended on the equipment especially the sulkies. As the materials have become lighter and stronger, the engineering improvements etc have helped the times to improve a lot. I don’t think much has changed in the thoroughbred world.

Inbreeding.  T-breds are commonly 3x3 line bred. Standardbreds are getting closer and closer and with that will come an end to speed.  If you want to know why T-breds are breaking down more now than in the past just ask....It isn't drugs!
