Night Trotting 50th Anniversary

Help us celebrate 50 years of spectacular harness racing at the Albion Park.

The opening night of “trotting” at Albion Park was conducted on September 7, 1968 where Curly Adios claimed the first victory, trained and driven by Sam Zammit. Since then, Albion Park has been home to many champion horses and hall of fame trainer-drivers.

You’ll see the best Queensland pacers show their talent in the $20,660 50th Anniversary Cup.
