Carpenter was playing for the East Perth Football Club Inc in 1981 when Royals coach Grant Dorrington told him to get a job in the city instead of heading home to Albany. Carpenter stumbled across a WATC advertisement in The West Australian, landed the position and went on to become the organisation's Racing Manager and Chief Handicapper, roles he continued to fulfill when Racing and Wagering Western Australia - RWWA succeeded the WATC as the state's principal racing authority. Carpenter continues to be a great friend and supporter of WA racing.
