Gollan inducted into Queensland Racing Hall of Fame

Leading Brisbane trainer Tony Gollan has been unveiled as one of four new inductees into the Queensland Racing Hall of Fame. 

To be held as a part of the Queensland Thoroughbred Awards on October 12, Gollan will be inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside jockey Michael Pelling and Chief De Beers, a fan favourite during his racing career.

A fourth inductee will also be announced at the awards ceremony. 

In a career that has netted more than 2000 victories, Gollan is now an eight-time Group 1-winning trainer.

In recent years, he has rewritten the record books in Queensland, setting a benchmark for statewide wins in 2022/23 with 194 victories, as well as a metropolitan record (147) in 2023/24. 

In the 2024/25 season, Gollan won his 12th straight metropolitan premierahip, and looks poised to continue his stranglehold on the Jim Atkins Trainer of the Year Award at this year’s ceremony.
