MOST MEMORABLE SPORTING OCCASION EXPERIENCED

Must be Centaur Decree flying home to win the Ocean Trailers. Prior to that in Horse Racing it would have to be Overstrand motoring up the hill at Sandown to win the William Hill Handicap Hurdle leaving the others lengths behind.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU INTO GREYHOUND RACING

Gave up owning expensive race horses

WHAT DOG(S) DO YOU OWN

Hug Major as well as being one of the Directors of CGRO

WHICH DOG YOU HAVE OWNED HAS GIVEN YOU MOST PLEASURE

Centaur Decree, although for different reasons Centaur Para is not far behind

BEST DOG EVER SEEN

First wife. Sorry, I mean Westmead Hawk

FAVOURITE TRACK

Ask a lovely man named John Porter based on the longest it has taken to get me into a cab after racing! Thank you John.

BEST BETTING MOMENT

Giving up

WORST BETTING MOMENT

Va Va Voom. £10k at Evens. Was 20 lengths in front when Carl Llewellyn decided to take it easy. Beaten by a nostril. Happy Days and unfortunately there were plenty more.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE CHANGE IN GREYHOUND RACING, OR ANY OTHER OPINIONS

Increase in prize money and financial commitments from Bookmakers. Also if allowed a supercharged magnet in between Hug Major and the first bend.

OPINIONS ON ANYTHING TO DO WITH IMPERIAL KENNELS

Only praise. I think it was an amazing job everyone was doing before the closure of the Stow and it shows what real quality there is at the Kennels when you consider the continued success. Well done and Thank you.
