About Steve Gammon

Steve Gammon has been involved with greyhounds for as long as he can remember. Having worked for his father at Ramsgate for 8 years from 1982  as a kennel hand, he took over the license to train in his own right in 1990. Steve was at Ramsgate until 1996 when he moved to his current training complex in Keston and had runners at Catford Stadium. After Catford's closure in 2003 he was offered the job to train at his current track Crayford.

Graded racing is very much the 'bread and butter' for Steve and his team although he will happily go Open racing with his better dogs.

The quality of greyhounds in Steve's kennel increased during 2005 and continues to do so, thanks largely to trusted contacts in Ireland, including Ian Reilly who supplied top grader and Open race winner Droopys Jordan. Droopys Jordan (Joannestown Cash x Droopys Sal) will be used as a brood once her racing career is over.

Steve's best dog in recent years was Faiths Lad who won Opens at Wimbledon, Hove, Walthamstow (beating Fire Height Dan) and Sittingbourne over sprint and standard distances and he reached the Final of the William Hill Derby Plate in 2005.

Steve consistently has a graded strength of 50 dogs and has 3 full-time and one part-time staff at the kennels to ensure every attention is given to the greyhounds in his care. The training complex includes 5 paddocks and has all the latest physio and ultra-sound equipment to hand.
