How do you rate him as a trainer?

Malaguerra has continued to improve since he got him.

Illustrious Lad has also kept getting better and has turned him into a G1 prospect.

He also did a great job with Mourinho.

Malaguerra he took from a Group 1 winner to a Group 1 winner. Not sure you can give him the most improved award based on that horse. horse was already on an upward path.

Like him, think he is a very good horseman , cant cop his brothers hysterics needs to tone it down both on race day and on social media imo.
People might see it as passion but I see it as annoying and self serving
The only problem with backing winners ? You never have enough on....

The brother certainly seems to possess a fervent need to appear relevant or important in the scheme of things.

Peter has his moments but appears pretty firmly grounded quite besides being talented.

Good blokes , agree manny could tone it down a notch or two but they mean well , PETER is a dead set champion bloke . My only criticism of the stable is I think they need a good form person , to map out race programs and strategies in races .

Great banter boys and we are very happy with the horses we have and the way our horses are going.
Whether you think we can train or whether you think we are good or bad - meet us first and then form an opinion.
My views on racing is the owner and the punter come last - they should be king of the castle in all facets of the sport !
We will let our horses do the talking and I think Peter is a very good horseman ! Interesting views
Malaguerra is a great horse - love him !
Keep serving up the overs please

What was the deal with Conformist?

Full brother to Stratum, sold for $850k as a yearling, he was transferred to you guys's stable for a while but didn't fire a shot?

Good very nice to hear these sentiments from someone on the other side of the fence Manny G.
 
Racing does take some things for granted especially the punter and might not expect that at any given time over the years they've  been only one step away from the crowd deciding not to turn up.
 
Being a Malaguerra fan notwithstanding - what a win that was at the Valley Clap

They have been in the Racing.com Studio all afternoon.

I do hope they never become much more than or much bigger than a boutique stable as he described their situation.

Sorry never responded to this with Conformist I had a share in him originally and bought the syndicate out and he ran a place then unfortunately lost the plot - he had a bad heart by memory but had serious talent and obviously good looking horse but had a heart issue apart from it probably being a small one as well. Under pressure just gave up with the flutters #chapter65oftheslowhorseclub
