Dad ‘battered’ greyhound trainer at race track after learning he had grown close to his partner of 18 years

A GREYHOUND trainer was attacked in the stadium over a love triangle, it was claimed yesterday.
James Turner was parading his dog when jilted Neil Gargow charged from the stands to confront him in scenes beamed live to betting shops around the country.

Electrician Gargrow, 41, stormed on to Crayford Greyhound Track in Dartford, Kent, before Wednesday’s 12.24 race, shouting: “Where’s James Turner?”
He then allegedly punched his rival before handing himself in to police.
Ms Routley, his partner for 18 years and mother of his two children, works at the stadium.

The 37-year-old is a paddock steward and is set to have met Mr Turner after coming up with the “Crayford Wiggle” — and hip-swinging flag wave performed before races.
A pal said: “Neil would never have done anything like this before, but it’s too much for him. Even after all of this he still loves Gemma.
“It was like a red mist descended. He didn’t know where he was or what he was doing.”
Mr Turner was said to have escaped serious injury and his dog Mythmaker went on to win at odds of 11/4.

The stadium is owned by Ladbrokes Coral, who broadcast races online.
A clip posted on Twitter had 150,000 views last night.
One fan wrote: “I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Another claimed: “It’s common knowledge at the track what’s been going on.
“These things happen in life. But the attacker, no matter how angry he was, should have confronted the trainer after the meeting not while on parade.”

Ladbrokes told The Sun: “This was a deeply unsavoury incident and one the police are now dealing with.
“Our prime concern is the well-being of the individual who was the victim of this awful assault.
“We are making sure he is OK, which fortunately he seems to be, while also assisting the police with their investigation.”
Leo Walker of betting giant Entain, which owns Labrokes, added: “We’re shocked by what everyone witnessed.
“We’ll provide all the evidence we have.”
Police confirmed a man had been arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm.

Mr Turner could not be contacted last night.
Ms Routley declined to comment.
