Injured jockey Peter Robl concedes his recent time working for the Walter stable has piqued his interest in becoming a trainer.

Robl has not ridden since he was bucked off a horse shortly after the start of a race at Scone in January and believes his riding career is all but over.

He has spent the past six weeks helping Wendy Walter run the Warwick Farm stable of her late husband, trainer Guy Walter who died from a heart attack in May.

Wendy decided to close the racing business and had her final runners at Rosehill on Saturday with I've Got The Looks sending her out a winner.

Robl assisted her with everything from trackwork duties to office support to representing the stable on race days.

"I was helping in all aspects of it. It's been a big learning curve," Robl said.

"I was just trying to do what was best for Wendy so she could concentrate on the things she needed to concentrate on.

"I rode a few winners for Guy over the years and it was a case of, because I'm not riding at present I had the time on my hands to help out."

Robl is still feeling the physical effects of the January race fall in which he suffered severe bruising to his spinal cord.

He says he has numbness in his hands and feet and almost constant stiffness in his neck.

The popular rider is due to consult a medical specialist on Thursday week in an appointment which will determine whether he rides again.

"I don't know if I will get back riding," Robl said.

"It's not looking promising.

"I see the specialist on the 17th of July and I will get pretty much a final ruling on how it has healed."

The transition to training would seem a natural one for Robl who is regarded as a horseman-style of jockey.

Along with his work for Walter, Robl has also spent time with Randwick trainer Anthony Cummings during his injury-enforced break.

He says training is a career that appeals, but not just yet.

"Down the track it certainly does. I've enjoyed it thoroughly," Robl said.
