One of the great champions of thoroughbred racing in the Central Highlands has stepped down due to relocation after decades of service to the industry.
From banking to racing administrator, Leon Roberts grew up on the open plains of Warrachie on the Eyre Penninsula in South Australia.
His passion for horses was flamed by frequent visits to local race meetings in that area.
Before moving to Queensland from South Australia in 1993 he was a committeeman on the Clare Race Club and also the Port Pirie Racing and Trotting Club.
