He went to the next level after a nice break in the paddock. He has just commenced Pre-Training to get some base fitness into him before he heads to Tony's for the real stuff in approximately 3 - 4 weeks.
Detailed Horse Information:
We’re absolutely thrilled to have secured NO FOOLING to race in our colours.
He is a lightly raced 4yo gelding by prolific sire ALABAMA EXPRESS most noted for his brilliant daughter, TREASURETHE MOMENT.
NO FOOLING HAS AN ELECTRIFYING TURN OF FOOT!
He easily won his first two career starts - his debut win needs to be seen to be believed (video below), before a placing behind the Stakes performer BIG SWINGER at Caulfield.
He was sent for a spell and resumed with 2 placings before hitting two rain affected tracks and he came to the end of his prep.
After a nice little break in the paddock where he has absolutely thrived, he has just commenced pre-training where we will work on his base fitness, and muscle definition before heading to Tony’s in approx 4 weeks., Tony gets a blank canvas to work with and no doubt will get the best out of him!
The horse is sound as a bell and Tony is certain, that he will be a force to be reckoned with on the metro tracks in Brisbane and will have no trouble progressing through the grades.
Considering his first win in Brisbane will likely pay for himself, he is outstanding value at $1,740 per 2.5% or $3,480 for 5% which includes all related expenses up until the end of June 2026.
Hear what Queensland’s Champion Trainer, Tony Gollan has to say about No Fooling.

THE TRAINER- TONY GOLLAN
Tony Gollan was born and bred in Toowoomba exposed to horse training from a young age with his father Darryl Gollan being a successful horseman and trainer himself. In 1999, Tony took out a training license at the age of 20 with a small stable in Toowoomba. His first winner was Carbon Shadow in a provincial maiden at Clifford Park on 3 July 1999 and first metropolitan winner was Nova Serrure at Doomben on 4 September 1999 made even more memorable ridden by good friend Stathi Katsidis. After trying his hand training in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Tony returned to Toowoomba to further hone his skills alongside his father Darryl and also learn from legendary trainer Jim Atkins.
In 2003, Tony revived his own training stable in Toowoomba with one of his first acquisitions being a Special Dane filly from Eureka Stud’s Colin and Scott McAlpine. Her name was Temple Spirit and she would set the path for Tony’s future training success. Whilst she won eight races and over $130,000 in prizemoney, it was her first two offspring that would become trailblazers for the stable – Temple Of Boom and Spirit Of Boom. The Boom brothers would win a combined 20 races including 3 Group 1s and over $4 million in prizemoney. Temple Of Boom provided Tony with his first Group 1 success taking out the The Galaxy at Randwick on 21 April 2012.
Not long after in the winter of 2012, Tony relocated the stable to Eagle Farm and has not looked back. He won his first metropolitan trainer’s premiership in 2013/14, broke the late Bruce McLachlan’s record for city winners with 79 in 2014/15, and broke 100 metro winners for the first time in 2019/20. He won his 12th successive metropolitan trainer’s premiership in 2024/25.
Off the track, Tony is committed to the welfare of retired racehorses with wife Jane establishing Transitioning Thoroughbreds Foundation in 2020, a great initiative to support life after racing for thoroughbreds. Tony also loves his time outside of racing with his young family and following rugby league at all levels, being a Queensland Under 19 representative himself in his youth.
