Mr. Jason Thompson, a registered and well known greyhound trainer, is now facing real trouble. Possibly, he will get suspended or has to face lengthy disqualification. Mainly, this is because of him getting involved in an alleged incidents in the kennel block area at the conclusion of races 8 and 9 last Thursday, 27th of November 2008. Seona Hood, Thompson’s wife and trainer partner is also involved, as well as Danny McDonald trainer of Surgeon.

An inquiry with regards to the alleged incidents involving Thompson and Hood, along with Darren McDonald will be conducted by the stewards however at this point in time there is no exact date yet as to when it will be conducted. One thing that’s exact is that any of the individuals, found guilty of the physical assault of another during a race programme could well look forward to a very lengthy disqualification or perhaps suspension, considering being a licensed trainer. This holds true most especially for Mr. Jason Thompson.
