The Central Queensland Graziers John Howard and Stewart Nobbs were a real handful to keep up with.

Punting was a complete black out for me had more tips than a Chinese Phonebook

John Dann has never had a Townsville Cup starter and has only been to Townsville once before when he sent The Tenor north for the Townsville Lightning in 2021.
However, The Tenor failed in both the Townsville and Cairns Lightnings before being moved on to Tolga trainer Sharlee Hoffman.
Named after a Scottish lighthouse, Quothquan drew a horror barrier 10 when an eye-catching third to the Ricky Vale-trained Logan Street Lion in the Rockhampton Cup last month.
He then drew the outside barrier 12 in the Mackay Cup when stepping up to 2000 metres for the first time when he finished fourth to the Aiden Nunn-trained Hype in the Mackay Cup on July 26.
"Barriers killed him in the Rocky and Mackay Cups," Dann said.
