Phil Broome has been involved in greyhound racing since childhood. He would always accompany his parents to Hall Green and also joined his father in working part-time for Ray Wilkes and Cradley Heath. Now attached to Peterborough, Phil learnt his trade on the flaps in the 1980's and took out his permit license in 1989. He was attached to no fewer than four tracks; Milton Keynes, Norton Canes, Mildenhall and Henlow.

He then took out an Owner/Trainer license with his best dog being Lightly Arrow who ran in the Permit Derby at Hackney and the Permit St Leger at Rye House. During this time Phil spent an awful lot of time on the road sending out several Open winners before running mostly at Milton Keynes. In March 2004 his move to March Road in Whittlesey coincided with the start of his attachment to Peterborough.

Lady Darkness (pictured to the right with her jacket) won 10 from her last 18 races at Peterborough and she will be used as a brood in the future. As will Lottie Lightning who is a full sister to Caloona Striker and reached the Finals of the Carlsberg Marathon at Henlow and the New Year's Marathon Cup at Coventry.

Phil has excellent contacts in Ireland and he will cross the Irish Sea 3 to 4 times a year to buy new stock. He has also attended veterinary seminars in Ireland and has a great knowledge of treating greyhounds and diagnosing injuries. He has a fully equipped treatment room and also uses George Drake (Physio) and John O'Connor (Vet). There are 11 sawdust paddocks and the kennels have access to excellent grass and all-weather gallops and use a state of the art portable drag hare. There is currently room for 20 dogs with a planned kennel extension meaning there will soon be space for 30 greyhounds. Phil will travel anywhere (even Ireland!) if his dogs are good enough.

Due to the fact that there are several schooling tracks in close proximity Phil is more than happy to take in greyhounds and school them.

Phil already has some very good owners and syndicates in his kennel and is more than happy to help prospective owners and give advice on greyhound ownership and how to set up a syndicate. His current owners receive newsletters at least every three months keeping them up-to-date with all the latest updates from the kennel.
