Dr Peter Symons – Winner of Marjorie Charleson WA racing industry award
In front of an audience of over 360 attendees, Dr Peter Symons was one of the many Western Australian small business winners in the 29th Belmont & Western Australian Small Business Awards 2022 on Wednesday, 26th of October 2022.
Held in the ballroom of the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, the ‘Night of Stars Event’ celebrated excellence in business and community achievement.
Dr Peter Symons is a racing regulatory veterinarian. In his role he works at race meetings to protect the health and welfare of both horses, and the jockeys who ride them. He also assists the stewards to ensure racing is fairly run and coordinates the collection of drug-control samples. This year, Peter initiated the first ever WA Racing Industry Mental Health Forum – a subject close to his heart. Peter has also published a book titled: Brain-Fuel Depletion: Making Sense of Anxiety and Depression.
Proudly supporting this industry award is Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) – the statutory body regulating all greyhound, harness and thoroughbred racing throughout WA. RWWA’s charter is to foster the development, promote the welfare and ensure the integrity of the WA racing industry, which provides important economic and social benefits to the state.
