TONY GOLLAN

Tony Gollan took out his training license at the age of 20 with a small stable at Toowoomba. Just two years later, Gollan moved to Brisbane and then the Gold Coast for a short time before moving back to Toowoomba to work alongside his father Darryl Gollan. Gaining plenty of knowledge over the following 12 months, Gollan started out again in 2003 and was given a mare to train by the name of Temple Spirit who went on to win eight races for the stable. In the following years, it was the mares offspring that really launched his career with Temple Of Boom and Spirit Of Boom winning a combined 20 races and over $4 million in prizemoney. Gollan claimed his first Group 1 success with Temple Of Boom in the 2012 The Galaxy going on to win his first Queensland Metroplitan Trainers Premiership in 2013/14 season. In the 2014/15 season Gollan set a new metropolitan benchmark in Queensland training 79 metro winners for the season to break the long standing record over Bruce McLauchlan.
