David Pruhs has long been
established as one of the top trainers in the country and his
name is nearly always found at the top end of the Trainers
Championship table. Based at The Willows in Lincolnshire, David
and his team will travel far and wide in their quest to land
Open races of the highest quality and there is literally nowhere
they will not travel if they have the right dog.
Boasting one of the most enviable
strike rates in Open races, often 40% or higher, David always
tries to place his greyhounds to win and is a regular at top
tracks Walthamstow, Nottingham, Milton Keynes, Wimbledon and of
course Peterborough where he is attached.
His kennels are set in 2 acres and
have several grass and all weather paddocks. With a kennel
strength of 50 greyhounds, of which approximately 30 are graders
and 20 are Open racers, David has 3 full-time staff and 3
part-time staff assisting him. Unlike most kennels, David has a
team for the racing side and a team of staff looking after the
kennels.
The Peterborough Puppy Derby, The Eclipse (twice), The Select
Stakes (twice), The National Sprint and the Peterborough
Cesarewitch are just a few of the big races David has won. He
has also sent out finalists in the Derby and the St Leger.
David is always looking to increase
his kennel strength with both graders and good quality Open
class dogs. For owners
looking to purchase a quality greyhound, David has excellent
contacts in the game and currently has first refusal on the
better dogs available for sale. |
