SELECT hopeful Swift Hoffman produced a stunning sub track record trial for Nottingham’s 500m course this evening.
The Pat Rosney trained Scottish Derby winner was timed at 28.93. Sawpit Sensation’s track record is 29.16.
A clearly stunned Rosney said: “I clock my own times and when I looked at the watch and it said, 28.91, I thought I had made a mistake. But I knew it would be something special because I clocked Eden The Kid to the third bend and he did 17.94. I had Hoffman down as 17.38.
“I really don’t know what to say, I still can’t believe the time.”
Eden The Kid’s official time was 29.54. Hoffman is already the 480 metre record holder in 28.07.
