He rode Flow on her first start of the following season, 1959/60, when unplaced in a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle on October 2, but was then replaced by another of George Vergette’s young claimers, Mick Clark, who rode Flow to win her next start at Huntingdon, retaining the ride thereafter. Peter did not renew his licence the following season.
