Good evening,
I read a few years ago that Philip Robinson was planning to take out a training license and possibly set up in Clive Brittain's old place. It's been a while since I've heard anything more on this, has anyone any information on what he's doing now?
Used to love following him as a jockey and was looking forward to him training.
Thanks for any help

disillusioned- he was/is the jockey coaching development officer, perhaps the newmarket lads on hear would know a bit more.
To me he was the complete flip side of Spencer. Just like Spencer has to be last in his races, Robinson would have to lead on every single mount he was on....no matter where he was drawn or what kind of horse he was on. I think the only glfavour he ever did me was when he was on Iffraaj at Doncaster in a group race one day.
knot in wood - thanks for that, I guess it's difficult to make the training pay without a substantial backer and I always thought of him as rather shrewd.
granitjack- totally agree about him liking to be in front, my 2 biggest wins were him winning on New Seeker and a horse of Conor Dore's in a 5 furlong race at Sandown, always was worth having a look at him when he rode for an outside stable

His father Peter, was even better - trusted by many Newmarket yards when they were having a gamble.
Peter was a class act both as a jockey, and then an equally fine trainer, too.
I used to follow him closely, with appropriate reward.
Absolute tragedy for Phillip when his father collapsed and died at the wheel of their car, whilst driving Phillip back from the races (Salisbury, I think) where Phillip had been riding that afternoon.
