 good trainer imo champion trainer a few times but that is always criticism levelled at him he does not do as well as he should with his best dogs  although Kinda Ready did win a Derby for him[;)] |

Personally I think that Mark has been a credit to the sport, won most of the Top Races
and always conducted himself well when interviewed. There are plenty of "trainers" in this game that can't train Ivy up a wall, could not level that at Mark. I don't know him or his staff but they all seem pretty much on the ball to me. I just wish that he was back at Romford, I'm quite happy to back his dogs when I feel they have a chance. (can't say that about every trainer). |

when he took over from Linda Jones mdm
her kennel was going through a poor time as Linda, being in hospital, was never there..  he picked that kennel up got Ronnies Special to win Grand Prix I remember, when a veteran so I have a lot of time for him and Seamus Cahill..both top class trainers for me although I bet at Stow at time so was maybe a little biased [;)]I totally agree with you about findley and ted dickson though mdm  |

Mark Wallis is a top trainer imo (even with the best dogs going to him) while Cahill needs help

are you taking the f*cking piss? ruined blonde fletch? like really? turned a very pacey but inconsistent and frustrating 4 bend dog into the second best stayer in the country now the best because of bradleys retirement? is it mark's fault the st leger is at a track where the dog has an abysmal strike rate?
any trainer, anywhere, can have a dog that is a bit too brittle, blonde snapper cant handle half a dozen races, yet he got it to win the festival jackpot? where he doubled up with fletch? cant believe someone on here has to come and defend a trainer of his calibre, i really hope its not p155ed people pocket talking or people on a wind up. mark hasnt got the strength in depth at the moment others have - chris allsopp gone out and bought all sorts last 6 months, fair play, he has had a crack, charlie gets 20k dogs literally thrown at him, but mark will travel up and down the country trying to get dogs not really open class to win a maiden, to win a weak race, all to be champ trainer, his commitment is better than anyone's. this is possibly either the biggest fishing thread, or biggest heap of sh!t, ever to be put on betfair greyhounds. |

agree addy.
I actually thought that snapper showed signs of tenderness in the semis at sunderland and was massively against him in the final,mark got the dog spot on for that final though,tremendous work on his part imo. |

was the final straw for deptford[;)] |

tbh i get a bit frustrated him tipping my dog EVERY WEEK in 4 bend races at wimbledon.
beryls boy james. never ever got the 4 bend pace really to win. is genuinely a dozen lengths behind at halfway, runs on strong, gets reasonably close. birch puts it down as an eye catcher. tips it next time. it goes off fav. again, doesnt win. wont get a drop because its going off fav. because of him. cant quite win a 6 bend race, because they are once a fortnight, and its against the same dogs. if i rubbed out last weeks st leger first round, he is 1/23 graded there, hasnt won since second race, 12 march. 6 months. the dog is ENTIRELY genuine, but circumstances, ie that div, and lack of 6 bend races, have meant he cant win |

there for all to see BG, i dont even blame the racing office, who get a lot of slack. not their fault, but the dog wouldnt be that winless if it hadnt been the wimbledon headline with paragraphs half a dozen times along the lines of "granted any sort of run will destroy these for pace". the dog occasionally traps, like last week, but lacks early pace. he is one paced after, thats not destroying them for pace. think i have bet him once since may, that was 9th sep.

By:
patricktbh Addy imo it is not too clever tipping from Birchy tipping dogs that are always the bridesmaid is a recipe for the poor house |
|
By:
we've all been there with these types of dog bg/addy,i'm a sucker for a dog that dont start or stay but shows eye candy between the 1st and 4th bends,theres plenty of them!
|
|
By:
unfortunately since he runs on into place
also makes it difficult for him to be downgraded but grader should see that after a winless run....and ease him imo |

No attachment of blame can be pinned on Wallis for Fletch's Leger campaign. Preparation seemed ideal after victory in a little competition at Yarmouth. I've watched Fletch throughout its career and even seen him live. He's an awesome dog when doing everything right and has the ability to blow away top class opposition. He just didnt fire in the Leger for my money. As my friend Addy says, Fletch doesnt run Wimbledon, seems he could be right, although Wimbledon seems a fair enough track to me. As far as Wallis is concerned, his Majestic was fastest of the night in the final heat. Would be ironic if his second-string is crowned champion

Running Fletch at Romford, big error, he said dog was tired after last weeks win, yet he also said the dog could run on consecutive days, on sky, a bitter rant about Snapper being as fast as Taylors, Birchy has got to him, obviously
|

By:
Maybe clown was a bit strong
|

By:
Complete Clown is even stronger. It's not a nice title and it's dispiriting for a decent man to have to read. Am I too sensitive? I hope Wallis isn't.

ruined snapper?? everybody knows the dog is super fast just cant
get him to stay sound always getting niggles ,weve all seen them in the past super fast dogs that just never seem right for more than 1run still got him to win a 25k comp id be delighted if he was mine mucked up fletch??? the dog lacked a yard of pace to be top class over 4 bends, yet hadnt run a 6 bend race til this year but wins 2 big comps for 50k and will be without doubt stayer of the year, ok he doesnt have a great. record at wimbo but some dogs just dont run some tracks, imo 1 of the best trainers in the country |

blonde snapper reminds me of the footballer owen hargreaves

By:
so will can judge can you give us a list of all the big race winners you have trained .then and only then will no who is the clown who is a top class guy and trainer
|
|
By:
whats the main difference between the normal clown and the
complete clown the car im guessing? |
|
By:
derby winning trainer and you call him a clown?
wtf |
|
By:
fcuk me anyone could be a trainer, get somebody to let the dog out the kennels and feed them the correct stuff, the team behind the trainer more than the trainer imo
|
|
By:
stayer of the year must be head iton jason
|
|
By:
would think it needs to win the st leger to even have a chance of beating fletch to that.
jason won the two stayers at monmore, cant remember him winning anything else? not saying he hasnt just cant remember? he is 16/32 this year, 2 big wins at same track though. fletch won queen mother memorial at sheffield, the regency at hove and the grand priz at sunderland, 3 different tracks, and is 19/30 - more wins in less races - than jason this year, more prize money, and was short antepost jolly for the leger at a track he doesnt like - his complete clown guesser of a trainer states that in todays R Post. For me, if jason don't win the leger he cant be stayer of the year, and even if he does, would still be odds against for me. Two great dogs regardless. |
|
By:
jason is much more of a consistant dog than fletch and i hope he does win the leger for chris in his bid to become the new champion trainer a tittle he will hold for many years to come imo

I can only judge him on his training ability which imo is very good I dont know him personally or how things were at Harlow and Charlie Lister is hardly a bundle of laughs at times[;)] |

Haven't read the greyhound forum for a while and log on to read this load of old tripe - reminds me why I don't bother anymore. I honestly wonder how many of the keyboard warriors know anything about Mark or Imperial Kennels. Personally I think Mark always felt that Fletch would struggle around Wimbledon, but clearly had little choice but to go for the premium staying event. Similarly he felt strongly that Aero Majestic was over priced and offered terrific each-way value at 25's/33's. Quite how you then deduce that the guys a clown is beyond me. I just struggle to comprehend what motivates you to come on here and slag someone you 'probably' don't even know. If you care about the sport, have a bit of respect - do we really need to be driving anymore trainers out of the game with ridiculous, juvenile comments?
