Graham Sharp started training as a hobby in 1955 and took out his license in 1967 where he trained at Rayleigh. One of the most experienced trainers on the circuit today with over 40 years experience, he was the first trainer to be offered a contract by Walthamstow in the 1970's.

Graham has 60 dogs in his care with a racing strength of 40 which he trains from his base at North Weald. Whilst most of his dogs run at Walthamstow, he also contests Open races with his better greyhounds. He has all the latest facilities for treating his dogs, a walking machine plus his own track for schooling and galloping his greyhounds. All his dogs are given plenty of time to mature before contesting races in public. Graham has a particular fondness for training marathon runners and has had plenty of success with stayers over the years. 

Graham trained Tread Fast, winner of the TV Trophy and also his sister who won the TV Trophy consolation on the same card! A bitch Clonbrin Basket won an amazing 40 marathon Opens and both her and Tread Fast held track records at Walthamstow before the track was re-configured. Other prolific winners include Sunset Rocket and Johns Dilemma.
