Derby winner Hutton back as a Towcester trainer
Trainer of 2018 Derby hero Dorotas Wildcat is rejoining the Northamptonshire track following the closure of Oxford
Towcester welcomes 'one of the best' back to the fold
Kevin Hutton has rejoined Towcester.
The Derby-winning trainer, who landed the world's greatest greyhound race as a Towcester trainer in 2018 with Dorotas Wildcat, is back at the home of the Star Sports & Orchestrate Ltd Greyhound Derby after the closure of Oxford.
Welcoming Hutton to Towcester, the track's racing manager Danny Rayment said: "Kevin is one of the best in the business and has a great affinity with Towcester, of course, having won the Derby eight years ago.
"And it's great to see his team this year going great guns again. He has his three runners through to the third round on Saturday in Kranky Drake, Droopys Berries and Rebel Alaska - and all are running well as Kevin looks to land a second Derby victory."
As for the Burford-based trainer himself, Hutton is looking forward to the challenge ahead.
"We had to make changes with a view to the future after Oxford, but thanks to the Towcester management we've now got a chance to get back on an even keel - and we're obviously busy there at the moment with the Derby.
"Towcester will always have happy memories for us and it's good to be back. We were one of the first trainers to be appointed there when Lord Hesketh first opened the track.
"I like the changes I've seen there since the new management took over, especially the introduction of the 460m trip which helps with the younger dogs."
