Who We Are
Hello!In 1993 Dr Tim Roberts founded Dr TMB Roberts & Associates at Centennial Parklands Equestrian Centre, Moore Park after 18-years as a leading equine vet in South Africa.
Upon graduating from Sydney University Tim found his way to South Africa where he performed surgeries for most of the leading equine practices for nearly two decades. His main interest however was equine nutrition, performance and management of racehorses.
In 2015 Dr TMB Roberts & Associates was rebranded as Centennial Park Veterinary Practice (CPVP) when we were fortunate to have Dr Ross Alexander join the team.
Our team of veterinarians have worked with and advised many leading trainers throughout Australia including the late Jack Denham, current leading champion trainer Chris Waller and highly regarded Team Hawkes. A distinguishing feature of Dr Roberts’ work is the development of sports nutrition protocols and supplements for racehorses, which continue to contribute to our clients’ success.
Career highlights include having worked closely with a number of champion trainers in South Africa including Jean Heming, leading trainer in the Tranvaal for 12 years, and over all South Africa for 4 years. Working with the likes of champion racehorses Roland’s Song, Kwiktan, Pedometer, Beau Art, Wolf Power and Main Man amongst many others in South Africa and Winx, Reliable Man, Zoustar, Might and Power, Filante, Verry Elleegant, Takeover Target, and Nature Strip — a few of the great horses in whose careers Dr Tim Roberts played his part.
Beyond racing, Tim played a critical role as the first person to detect Equine Influenza outbreaks in both Turffontein Racecourse in South Africa and Centennial Parklands Equestrian Centre in Australia, actions that helped protect the wider horse industry in both countries.

Racehorse trainers contract our services directly working as an agent on behalf of the owners. Hence you received an invoice directly.
Page two of your invoice gives detail as to the services provided. For further information always contact your horse’s trainer or syndicate manager first.
When it comes to horse racing, veterinary work is not always because your horse sustained an injury or illness. It is sports medicine management to optimise your racehorse’s performance. Similar to any athlete like an NRL or rugby player whom have sports doctors, trainers, and nutritionists. It may also be regular vaccines and worming.
If any treatments or supplements are within your trainers invoices, it is separate to ours and can mean they have provided supplements or treatments in-house.
Our invoicing system is called Ardex.

Veterinary work with racehorses is not always treatment of illness or injury. It is Sports Medicine Management to Optimise your Racehorses performance, recovery and growth.
If you are ever concerned or would like further information about your horse’s treatment, please contact the trainer and/or syndicate manager first.
