Profile

Clemenson was a head man for Kenny Linzell before taking out a trainer's licence.[3] He raced out of Brighton & Hove Greyhound Stadium which he joined after a spell at Hackney Wick Stadium.[4]

He was initially based at Bersheda Kennels in Wickford[5] but a decade later moved to the Romford Greyhound Kennels in Billingshurst. He came to prominence in the early 1990s and after reaching multiple finals finally won a feature competition in 1999 when he won the Pall Mall Stakes.

He reached the final of the 1998 English Greyhound Derby with Tullerboy Cash[6] before steering two runners into the 2002 English Greyhound Derby and finishing runner-up in the 2004 English Greyhound Derby.[7]

It was during the early part of the decade that Clemenson was the leading trainer in Britain. He trained the winners of many competitions including three Cesarewitch's, an Oaks, a St Leger, four Champions Stakes, three Golden Jackets, eight Olympics, two Regencys, two Pall Mall Stakes, three Sussex Cups and two Trafalgar Cups.[2] [1] [8]

He retired from training in 2012.[9]

Awards

He has won the Trainers Championship three times in 2002, 2003 and 2004.[2] [1]
