“This is one of many achievements in your career and as one of our long-standing leaders in commerce and racing industry, I am very pleased to see your contributions continuing to be recognised both within and beyond Queensland’s borders.

“Your unwavering support as an owner, breeder and administrator in the harness racing industry is unparalleled. I wish you further success with your, and Kaye’s, great champion Leap To Fame and many more great horses in the future,” Mander wrote.
