Albion Park

A strong contingent of Victorian-trained horses will descend on Queensland this weekend as the Constellations Carnival ramps up at Albion Park.

Australia’s most powerful stable Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin will have three key runners in the country’s richest juvenile race.

Star pacer Fighter Command will bypass the Queensland riches to focus on a Tasmanian pathway towards a spot in the world’s richest harness race.

A golden ticket for the $500,000 Protostar, the richest two-year-old race on the Australasian calendar, to be run at Albion Park on July 12, awaits the winner of the $20,000 Durham Park 2YO Rising Star (1680 metres) at Ballarat on June 12.

Even before boom juvenile Showmethetanlines made it to the races in Australia, the team behind the promising colt had their eyes on the Sunshine State.
