Philip Simmonds has been involved with dogs since leaving school and has worked professionally with hounds until the current day. He was a public coursing trainer and still looks after three packs of hounds. Philip first became involved with professional greyhound racing in Ireland and took out his own license in 2005 and is currently attached to Mildenhall Stadium, the only racing track in Suffolk.

Phil has 20 graded racing dogs and is supported by Assistant Trainer Christine Cusselle and Kennel Hand Natalie Collins. Ron Mills, a Sport & Remedial Massage Therapist specialising in the treatment of greyhound injuries visits the kennels on a weekly basis.

The kennels are set in 100 acres of land, just off the M11 Motorway and has wonderful facilities for the greyhounds. There is private grass land and various wooded walks and Phil has both a 220m all-weather gallop and a 300m grass gallop. The kennel whelps pups on average twice a year and has the facilities to rear and school greyhounds.

Philip warmly encourages owners to visit his kennels and participate in the walking of their greyhounds in the beautiful surroundings at Trinity Foot. An enthusiastic contributor to the re-homing of retired greyhounds as they enter the second part of their lives, Philip has a wealth of experience and will be looking to increase his kennel strength in the coming years. He has already sent out plenty of Open winners with Might Be Magic consistently in the winners' enclosure and the kennel also took the £500 Monkey Standard at Harlow with Savedbyjoe in 2007. Headford County was a Finalist in the £10000 Graphite Puppy Derby at Walthamstow the same year.
