Head Man - Peter Emmerson

ROMFORD-RAISED Peter Emmerson has enjoyed two long stints under trainer Henry Cecil. Prior to joining the Warren Place team in 1980, he had largely been based with training operations in Middleham, having served as an apprentice at the outset. Like Billy Aldridge, he has seen many of the champions that have graced Warren Place Stables and cites Oh So Sharp, Ardross, Slip Anchor and Reference Point as the stars from his first spell with Henry. After eight years from 1990 working for another trainer on the Hamilton Road, Peter returned and has enjoyed seeing stars such as Light Shift, Love Divine, Oath, Shiva and Beat Hollow. Oaks heroine Light Shift will also hold a special place in his heart as he rode her work for much of her Classic-winning year. Among the good horses that he has done have been Derby third Mashkour, Claude Monet and Shibboleth.  << BACK>>
