WHAT BROUGHT YOU INTO GREYHOUND RACING
My brother John taking me to the Stow at about 10 years old
WHAT DOG(S) DO YOU OWN
Bomber Bailey (with Keith Blackham and Neil Todd)
Kindred Sparky 9with Keith Blackham)
WHICH DOG YOU HAVE OWNED HAS GIVEN YOU MOST PLEASURE
Overall Kindred Sparky but Kindred Rebel and Bomber Bailey for particular nights (winning the Circuit and Springbok)
BEST DOG EVER SEEN
Ballyregan Bob
FAVOURITE TRACK
Was the Stow, now Romford and Henlow
BEST BETTING MOMENT
Bailey winning the Springbok - we backed him 20/1 ante post
WORST BETTING MOMENT
When I bought my first greyhound at 20 (Katies Special). I backed her at 10/1 (£140) - she was 6 lengths clear and picked up on the line by Speedy Lark - that was a fortune for me then and I was sick.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE CHANGE IN GREYHOUND RACING, OR ANY OTHER OPINIONS
In a word "innovation". I would like to see the GBGB Board advised by and surrounded by a mix of people with great knowledge of the sport (eg Linda Jones, Mick Puzey, John Coleman) complemented by people with vision and new ideas. I would also like to see the RGT and the retired greyhound system totally changed and modernised.
OPINIONS ON ANYTHING TO DO WITH IMPERIAL KENNELS
I am very new to the kennel having only owned dogs with Mick Puzey for over 20 years. I have been so pleased with how welcome we have been made to feel by all staff and owners. Also so impressed by Mark's professionalism. We have had a dream start with Bailey and we are so grateful to everybody connected with the kennel.
