Esther Driver

Esther is Paul’s assistant trainer as well as being the breeding guru at the kennels. Esther has been in greyhounds all her life following in her father’s footsteps who also reared them.

Esther worked for Bill Masters at Hove, under the guidance of the legendary George Curtis who remained in the kennel after his retirement. She then joined the Derek Knight kennel as assistant trainer. She was with the successful Knight kennel for 4 years where she went on to win the national kennel hand of the year.

During her time at the Knight kennels, Esther had the honour of leading up Smoking Bullet in 2 derby finals. She left the Knight kennel to assist Paul in the setting up and running of their solo venture in 2004.

A very experienced and respected handler, Esther is now making waves on the British breeding scene, producing the Hall Green Produce Stakes winner in only her 2nd home bred litter, not to mention numerous open race winners.

With a host of well bred bitches at the kennels, Esther is striving for the success in the breeding ranks that the time and effort spent, richly deserves.
