Peter Davies (3 March 1988 – after 2010) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. As a two-year-old in 1990 he was one of the best staying colts of his generation in Britain, winning all three of his races including the Somerville Tattersall Stakes and the Racing Post Trophy. He did not fulfil his early promise, failing to win a race in the next two seasons before winning twice as a five-year-old in 1993. He was later transferred to race in the United States and subsequently relocated to South Africa but had no further success before being retired from racing at the age of seven.
Peter Davies was a chestnut horse with a white blaze and four long white socks bred in Kentucky at Pamela H Firman's Whileaway Farm. He was from the first crop of foals sired by Bering, who won the Prix du Jockey Club and finished second to Dancing Brave in the 1986 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. As a breeding stallion, the best of his offspring included Pennekamp, American Post, Glorosia and Matiara (Poule d'Essai des Pouliches). Peter Davies' dam French Flick was a successful racemare who won five of her thirty-three races between 1981 and 1983. She was a great-granddaughter of Lea Lark, an American broodmare whose other descendants have included Tobougg, Miswaki, Almutawakel, Southern Halo and White Muzzle.
As a yearling in September 1990, the colt was offered for sale at Keeneland and was bought for $20,000 by Jackie Ramos. He entered the ownership of Charles St George and was sent to Europe where he entered training with Henry Cecil at his Warren Place stable in Newmarket, Suffolk.
