Leon had the job of taking Let’s Elope to the 1992 Japan Cup.
In part 2 Leon reflects on nineteen years as Bart’s Melbourne foreman during which time he got to work with some of the best horses in Australia.
He talks of his resignation from Bart’s employ which saw him take out his own trainer’s licence. He reflects on the temporary lapse in his friendship with Bart Cummings.
Leon highlights Starspangledbanner and Helenus two of the best horses he trained under his own name.
