THE rich carnival for Tony Gollan shows no signs of slowing down, with the stable landing the Ipswich feature double on Saturday.

Both the Eye Liner (Alma's Fury) and Ipswich Cup (Brave Ali) came with horses Gollan had only inherited for their current campaigns.
It was also a welcome win for leading apprentice Tegan Harrison, who came oh so close to winning last week's Stradbroke on Gollan's Temple Of Boom.
"This time I was on the River Lad horse," Harrison said.
"When they put pressure on this horse, he just keeps fighting.
"If something attacks him, he will keep fighting as long as he's got his head in front.
"It was on a long way from home and fortunately they (Larry Cassidy and Grey Assignment) ended up second best."

Gollan took great satisfaction in the wins of both horses, as Alma's Fury was only second up with 59kg and Brave Ali was coming off a five-week break, in which time he'd spent a week freshening up at Washpool Lodge.
"It's unbelievable to think we could win the two features," Gollan's wife Jane said.
Brave Ali was set for this race and the Caloundra and Grafton Cups immediately after he finished third to Pretty Pins in the Chairman's Handicap in early May.
"We did plan it, I just wasn't sure if I had the planning right," Gollan said.
Just to be sure, Gollan gave Brave Ali a short spin doing even time at Eagle Farm yesterday morning before heading to Ipswich.
"You never get a real line on him with his trackwork, but looking at him, he'd dappled up and looked super. I'm so proud of him," Gollan said.
"I can't wait to get to the Sunshine Coast Cup and I certainly can't wait to get to the Grafton Cup."

Alma's Fury had finished a close-up seventh in the QTC Cup two weeks earlier and the stable was confident he would be hard to toss yesterday.
"I was shooting blind going into the QTC Cup, but I knew he had improved nicely coming into this race," Gollan said.
Chris Munce felt missing last week's Stradbroke may have told on Masthead as he went to the line with the winner.
"I got a magnificent cart into the race and I was in the best spot ever," Munce said. "I ran up to win, but missing that run last week may have told."
It turned out to be a frustrating end to the day for Munce, who won on Jack 'N' Me early in the day.
He was beaten on Architect in the final event in similar style to Masthead, with the slight swing in the weights just helping tilt the scales in favour of Olympic Anthem.
