Greyhounds

Patrick Janssens has a wealth of experience in greyhound racing, having started to train dogs at the age of 10 in his home country, Belgium. He has since travelled the world learning the best training and breeding practices from a huge variety of people in countries including the USA, Australia and Ireland.

Patrick went on to be Assistant to Linda Jones and subsequently, 11-time Champion Trainer Mark Wallis. He has since set-up on his own at beautiful kennels in Suffolk. Things have gone from strength to strength and in 2020, Patrick was crowned Champion Trainer for the first time, an impressive feat for a man with a small but elite kennel of dogs.

Career highlights include Kilara Lion winning three category one races including the East Anglian Derby, the Kent Derby and Blue Riband. Marathon bitch Goldies Hotspur won the TV Trophy in 2017 and was runner-up in 2018. Desperado Dan has won 45 races from 99 starts including the Gold Collar and Champion Stakes and, more recently, Bockos Doomie won the Sussex Cup 2020 at Hove, adding that title to the Henlow Puppy Derby he's already won as a youngster. The stunning black and white dog was also unbeaten in 17 races at Hove.

The Janssen's kennel is family run with his wife Cheryl and daughter Ria working alongside Patrick to provide the best possible care for their dogs. All dogs receive five star treatment during their racing careers and are, without exception, found loving homes once they retire.

Value Racing Club are proud to be involved with the Janssen’s kennel where welfare is paramount. We look forward to plenty of success with Patrick and his family.
