We welcome leading Queensland trainer Kelly Schweida who’s enjoying a terrific 2018/19 season. Getting close to 50 winners on all tracks and 30 in town.

Kelly started as an apprentice jockey in Townsville and enjoyed great success, even though his progress was hindered by a serious car accident.

After winning a Townsville trainer’s premiership, he decided to move to the big smoke twenty five years ago. With the support of a dedicated family, Kelly has established himself as one of Queensland’s best.
