Martin Burt started training at Norton Canes and had spells at Cradley Heath and Perry Barr before moving to Monmore Green in 1994 where he is a trainer today. Based at West View Kennels, Martin has all the latest facilities for training greyhounds including a walking machine, access to a swimming pool and a 250m gallop. The kennels have several paddocks and a very large grass paddock.

Martin has a kennel strength of 70 and normally has 40 greyhounds on the graded strength at Monmore. He currently has a small team of Open racers and is always willing to travel with his better dogs.  A loyal team of 5 full-time staff and 2 part-time staff assist Martin in the day-to-day running of West View Kennels.

Probably one of the best greyhounds Martin has trained is Proud Boss who reached the Semi-Finals of the Derby and won Midland Flat. In addition to 'Champ', Martin also trained Elliots Pride who was a multiple Open race winner and won the National Sprint at Nottingham. He also broke two track records! Of his current runners, Boher Chief is another multiple Open race winner and is track record holder for the 264m trip at Monmore.
