Award caps track team’s loyalty at Ipswich New
Date: 06-Oct-2026
They are one of the tightest teams in the racing industry in the Sunshine State and now they have the award to prove it.
The Ipswich Turf Club track team have been together through thick and thin over the decades with several of their contingent clocking big milestones for their longevity.
Ipswich Track Manager Sean Tou recently ticked past 22 years of service in June and his close offsider Chris Wallace has also been at the club for 25 years.
Tou and Wallace lead the crew at the Bundamba-based facility, with the loyal track team also including Darrell Bell, who is clocking up 45 years this year, as well.
The track has its big day in the sun every year during the Queensland Racing Carnival when they host their popular Ipswich Cup day program, but they also regularly hold provincial and metropolitan meetings on a consistent basis.
For that, Tou was recently named Australia’s Regional Racecourse Manager of the Year. WATCH HERE:
