 There are around 60 horses in the stable at Caulfield and Peter believes this is a good manageable number that allows him to keep track of each horse and give it his personal attention.
Peter prides himself on his strike rate and believes that winning becomes a habit, so he places his client's horses where he thinks they can win. He will go anywhere for the right races, from Tasmania to Darwin to Perth and all tracks in between.
Peter's training approach is to prepare each horse for its strengths, whether it's a sprinter, a middle distance horse or a stayer and according to his client's objectives.
This flexible approach allows Peter to provide a complete training service across the board.
By seeing each horse as an individual, they can be given their own routine so that that Peter doesn't have to drive them if they are not ready to cope with the work. He has a similar approach to feeding. " I work to my feed and feed to my work" is Peter's method.
A major ingredient of Peter's success is the team around him Peter's assistant trainer Tony Haydon has been with him for 12 years and a lot of Peter's success can be attributed to Tony's care and attention. Racing Manager Jeff O'Connor assists with the important task of placing horses to thier best advantage and client liasing, Marni Kelly handles the office adminstration, Peter's wife Sarah an experienced horse woman assists not only with the running of the office but also with trackwork and the running of thier spelling farm Carbrecel Park,
