Kevin Richard Hutton (born 1981) is an English greyhound trainer. He is a four times United Kingdom Champion Trainer and 2018 Derby winning trainer.[1] [2]

He reached the final of the 2013 English Greyhound Derby with Screen Critic.[7]
The greatest achievement of his career arrived in June 2018 when he won the 2018 English Greyhound Derby with Dorotas Wildcat.[8] He continued to impress throughout 2018 and his victories included the Golden Sprint, Golden Crest, Eclipse and Puppy Derby. He ended the year by securing his second Oaks winner, five years after his first, when Ravenswood Flo won the 2018 Oaks.[9] [10]
