• Clover Don set a mile track record for a trotter of 1.59.6 in his win yesterday.
It is possibly the first time the 2.00 barrier has been broken by a trotter on grass. Clover Don lowered the mark of 2.00.6 set by Master Bomber last year when the race was staged for the first time. Clover Don is trained at Weedons by Murray Alfeld for his neighbours Geoff and Julie Stevenson, who bred the son of Sundon and Clover Lass.
Clover Don, the winner of 10 races, is the best horse trained by Alfeld, who has been training for 21 years.
Supreme Gem set a track record for a mare of 1.59.2 yesterday.
