From The Horse's Mouth - Mark Van Deventer

Interbet are happy to be sponsoring highly successful Central Province trainer Tony Peter from 1st May 2026.

As the stats below attest, Peter is ratcheting many visits to the winners enclosure whilst maintaining an excellent lifetime 18% strike rate of wins to runners saddled.

If he sustains this current momentum through 2025/26, he will surpass the 97 victories from 579 horses sent out in the previous season.

Tony Peter embarked on his professional career as a conditioner of thoroughbreds in January 2023. Virginia Beach, the first runner for the yard, ended up winning to get things going in the best possible way.

Beauty was a first Group winner for Peter, just six months later in the G1 Douglas Whyte Stakes at Greyville.

Buffalo Storm Cody is Peter’s most accomplished horse currently in training. This speedball sports an excellent Timeform Rating of 120 and has poleaxed opposition in ten of 17 starts, including the recent G1 Computaform Sprint at Turffontein and the Mercury Sprint (G1 run at WFA) in July 2025.

Peter’s yard is situated at Turffontein in Johannesburg. Punters know to take his runners especially seriously at home base, where fitness is at a premium given the high-altitude location.

The stable is presently third on the SA National Trainer’s Log. Rankings are based on stakes generated and patrons of the yard have received close to R11 million in total prize money with three months of the season remaining.

Not only is the winning strike rate referred to earlier impressive, but the stats show that 32% round out a Top 2 finish with close to 50% of Peter’s entries making the placings. Further evidence that his runners are typically in prime condition and shrewdly entered in the right races.

Interbet are looking forward to a positive association in sponsoring this young, upwardly mobile industry professional, as Tony Peter Racing Stables continue to beat a regular path to the No 1 Box.
