Racing Queensland has been advised that Albion Park is going to be shut down by March 2025. The new Norwell track is not going to be ready by 2026 at the earliest, and that is probably a conservative estimate given that the funding doesn’t allow for construction work to be done at night or 7 […]
It was all happening at Tambo on the weekend – a lavish luncheon provided by the local ICPA branch for Ladies Day at the races, and the Country Queensland Premiership winners being finalised both on the track there and further north at Corfield.
