Gutted to hear this, I was only speaking to Julie a few weeks ago at work.

It's a shame there's not more of the likes of Steve in whippet racing, someone who i think deserves the term 'a good dog man' and a good sense of humour also.

Rip Steve, thinking of Julie and the rest of the family at such a devastating time.

Lin has just telephoned to let me know the very sad news about Steve.

He was a wonderful lad with a great dry sense of humour, he was highly thought of and what he didn't know about whippets wasn't worth knowing. He and Julie raced and bred some of the sports greats which is 'gold stamped' forever in the sports history.

From starting out with Mr Benn many, many years ago...to when they retired with Little Madam, they enjoyed success of the highest level.

It is a very sad day, our thoughts go out to Julie xxxxx
