Pat Rosney has been training since 2002 and has been at Monmore Green since December 2003 having transferred his kennel strength from his previous track Belle Vue. Before taking out his own licence Pat teamed up with Jimmy Gibson and was heavily involved in Talktothehand (Oaks winner) and Pilot Alert who reached the Final of the Derby in 2002.

Based in the heart of Lancashire, the kennels are set in 2 1/2 acres of land and are ideally placed for raids on all the top Open races at the Northern tracks. Pat has room for 50 greyhounds at Townbrow and has a graded strength of 35 at Monmore with further dogs running in top Opens up and down the country. Pat has his own 250 yards all-weather sand gallop (separate from Townbrow - see picture below).

Pat's partner Julie McCombe is Assistant Trainer and plays a major role at the kennels and has been with Pat since he started training. She does the majority of the travelling with the Open race dogs.  

Pat has quickly established himself as a real force in the training ranks and is now one of the top trainers based in the North.  He has already won the Midland Puppy Derby with star bitch Dairyland Sue (2004). She won her final by a mightily impressive 6 ¼ lengths and went on to claim the Select Stakes at Nottingham having previously won the William Hill Northern Puppy Derby in 2003. Pat narrowly failed to land to the Northern Puppy Derby again in 2006 when Vatican Jinky went down by a short-head in the Final. Breeze Hill Juli took the £1,000 Carling Guineas at Nottingham in early 2007 and made the Final of the Scottish Derby at Shawfield. In the same year a superb Training performance saw the highly rated Vatican Jinky return from injury to land the £10,000 Totesport Gold Collar at Belle Vue and later that month sent out Highfield Hondo to reach the Laurels Final at the same track. In what was a cracking year for Pat and the kennel, the lightly raced Jetharts Here took the £2,000 All England Sprint Final at Newcastle in November.

Pat also trained Bomber Graham, a winner of 25 Opens who’s finest hour came when landing the Oxford Gold Cup in 2003. ‘Bomber’ also reached the Final of the Scottish Derby (runner-up), The Laurels (3rd) and the All England Cup (runner-up).
