Quotes about Rae Guest taken from the Racing Press

What The Papers Said

"Ridiculous though it may sound, not every small trainer can handle an outstanding horse. Where Guest went right, and others go wrong, is that he recognised My Emma's ability as a two year old and nurtured it. In a small yard the temptation is to run and run a horse who can win. Instead he resisted the seduction of early success and played patience, a quality Guest has in abundance"
Marcus Armytage, The Daily Telegraph

"Guest is the epitome of the true racing professional. Not many around in these instant days of posing in front of the television cameras"
Raceform Update

"Rae Guest has a thoroughbred racing pedigree and his performance in eight years with a trainer's licence matches the breeding. When Guest says something take note. After My Emma won her maiden at Newmarket last summer he said 'She will win the Arc next year'."
The Daily Express

"Not the gushy type, he appeals to the 'what you see is what you get' approach. As one seasoned professional said: 'If you want a clown you go to Billy Smart's, with Rae you get a straightforward deal - and of how many of them can you truthfully say that?'"
Alistair Down, The Sporting Life
