Dear Mark,
I went to Coventry with Anne Cole on Sunday and it was great to see both Lockdale dogs winning. I think 'Storm' can get better and become a very good open runner. A credit to you for having all your dogs turned out so nice as mentioned by quite a few punters. Had a chat with Patrick, what a nice guy, so knowledgeable too.
Keep it up Mark as you deserve the top crown again.
Best wishes

Dear Mark, Patrick and Team Imperial,
Quite simply words fail me how you've managed to get Centaur Decree back from such a serious gracilis injury to not only make it back to the track, but capable of winning open races and beating the likes of Eclipse winner Rev Counter last night at Coventry. If anyone had seen the dog go arse about apex the week before at Yarmouth then they might understand my incredulity as to how you could have got him off the physios couch to win in such style last night. I honestly believe most kennels would have long since given up on him - thank you all for your hard work, let's hope James stays sound and winning long enough to do his bit to help you to the Trainers Championship you all so richly deserve.
Best Wishes,
John Porter. |

I would just like to pass on my thanks to all at Imperial Kennels and the owners that ventured down to Hove for my mum's memorial night. Your input was very much appreciated and I sincerely hope we will see you next year even if only on the social side. We raised £25,000 for Macmillan Nurses because of people that cared and I truly am proud to be associated with a great bunch of people. Onwards and upwards for next year's event which I hope will be bigger and better (if possible).
I am on the lookout for anyone who would like to consider race sponsorship. My number is 07810 444369 - who knows if the right package is in place we may get on Sky.
Regards

Thanks for all the help with all dogs you have trained for us. The last night at the "Stow" will go down as one of the best. Well done having the last ever (well let's hope not) winner at the Stow. I cheered Mountjoy Diamond all the way. Thanks again

Hi.
I would just like to say thanks for your webpage and newsletter that you deliver every week which I always look forward to. As I am now living in Spain, I still love to keep in touch with the greyhounds at Walthamstow. I know how disapointed everyone is at the Stow's closure. I was also gutted, as I had been a kennel lad there in the era of Barney O'Connor, who then had the legendary Ballinderry Moth, and also saw many greats such as Sole Aim in its first gradings to go on and win the Irish Derby. And of course still have many memorys of the Stow, even when I broke my ankle at the pick-up as two dogs ran straight into the back of my leg. Since living here I follow the dogs all the time. I just wish you and your team great fortune for the future and just hope that someday we will see the Stow back on the map.
Thanks again

All at Imperial,
I just wanted to say thank-you for looking after me so well during my time at the kennels - I know I wasn't the best doggy there but you always trained me really well and I'm quite proud that I've won 17 races & been second 16 times. That's not too bad is it even if I never managed to make it into the posh open kennels with all those fast dogs. I'm really sorry that I was always a bit of a whinger and preferred to do wee wee's in my kennel rather than out of it. I just can't shake the habit and even managed to upset my daddy today by spraying his car as we were going along the A11!
I'm already settling into my new home - it's quite nice really as it's near the racecourse in Newmarket - I've got three new greyhound friends, but I'm still missing Fabio & Cappo a bit. I'm quite excited that I might get to go racing at Great Yarmouth soon - it must be a fantastic place to go if the champion trainer takes his family there for a holiday - I can't wait because I'm pretty sure that blasted Seamies Gambler will not show up there and I might make it to twenty wins before I curl up on the sofa for good.
Thank you once again for having me.
Lots Of Love,
Iris. |

Dear Mark and Team,
Another big thank you for getting Bertie ready and spot on when winning the “Test” He showed real early pace and when going round the first bend in front I knew it was ours!! A massive thank you once again. It was even more special knowing it could be one of the last comps at the Stow

Thanks to all concerned for getting Alix ready for the Assured Delivery Marathon competition at Peterborough which she won convincingly. She has never failed to deliver her best and to finally win a competition is richly deserved. There could still be a couple more in the locker !!
Six open race wins so far this year is a very good effort by a bitch that refuses to be beaten !!

A belated thanks for the work you all put into my dogs Questhouse Sash,Ellie,Bonnie and Lucy whilst in your care,the attention detail did not go unnoticed and it was very much appreciated by both myself and the dogs themselves.
Sash and Ellie are living it up back home with me and hopefully 1 day you will be training some of their pups,Lucy has settled into Monmore well albeit her 6 monthly seasons have curtailed a promising career,Bonnie has been retired and is currently awaiting a home in Lincoln.
Good Luck for the rest of the year.

What a great night at the Stow for the Stewards Cup. Bertie had to “ping” and he sure did ! Thanks for all your help as he was SPOT on for the final !!

Just a quick note to thank you all for the hard work you put in to get Genesis Dream (Betty) to win the Cat 2 (630) at Monmore. She had to trap well to win and didn't she just do that !
To see her mentioned in the Racing Post several times since and to have a large write up in the Breed lines column at the weekend was excellent and all credit to her breeders. She and Like Hot Cakes are doing the blood lines proud. Long may it continue.

Hi Mark and all the team
Just want to say a big thank you to all of you for what you achieved with Minky ( Snappy Girl).
She fully deserves her retirement and will be returning to Ireland for breeding.

A huge thank you to everyone involved at Imperial.
Last night will live long in the memory and you managed to get "James"
absolutely spot on for the big one.
Thanks for all your hard work and patience with him and I know you all got
almost as much enjoyment out him winning The Arc as we all did.
Thanks again,

Hi Mark and all at Imperial kennels.
This is just a quick note to thank you for all of your hard work and patience that you invested into my greyhound Frankie (Chase The Dream). He was a character in many ways (!) and after a very long (!!) settling in period you guys managed to get the best out of him with a phenomenal strike rate. Now his career is over the hurdles and I have moved him to Wimbledon to have more regular graded opportunities but I won't forget what you did for him.
Cheers

Hi Mark,
Please can you give the girls their mum's (Kinda Sleepy) congratulations, and tell them they are running just like her!! Let's hope Dream does the job on Friday just like Gullivers Travels did for Linda although she won't be a 20/1 shot this time.
All the best
