Tasmanian Greyhound Hall of Fame
Trainers
Reg Ivory
Reg (Shorty) Ivory makes the inaugural Hall of Fame principally as a master trainer. In truth he makes it also as a master breeder, amazing character and half of one of the most formidable teams Tasmanian greyhound racing has known, with his marvellous wife Aileen.
George and Eileen Johnston
Together, the Johnstons became famous in Tasmanian greyhound circles, remembered best for all the great dogs named "Fenton". None would be more famous than Fenton Girl, the most marvellous of a great litter.
Robert William "Bobbie " Brown
“Unassuming, softly spoken, gentle gentleman, always keen to help, very disciplined and man of action.” Must be talking about Bob Brown! Where do you start with this enigmatic man of so many colours?
Bob Brown was the champion junior boxer, footballer, soldier, wharfie and revolutionary greyhound trainer that elevates to Hall Of Fame status in 2008
Vivian James Berresford
Vivian Beresford was an early pioneer of professional greyhound training in Tasmania including developing a mobile walking machine. Widely known as the Baron, this nickname became a trademark of many successful racing greyhounds, such as Hobart Thousand Winner, Baron Woomera.
Hilda Williamson
Tasmanian greyhound racing has been a far better place for Hilda Williamson having been a part of it. Self taught in all matters greyhound, and always understating her own ability and achievements, she was truly on the top rung of both trainers and breeders in this State.
