The southern autumn carnivals will take a back seat for Tony Gollan as he edges towards breaking a long-standing Brisbane training record.

The benchmark for most winners by a trainer in a Brisbane racing term is 78 set by the late Bruce McLachlan in 1987-88.

At the halfway mark of the current season, Gollan is on 41 winners, four ahead of arch rival Robert Heathcote.

Gollan says he has made a conscious decision to concentrate on metropolitan races this season although he is not specifically chasing down McLachlan's mark.

"I don't worry about records. If you train winners everything else looks after itself," Gollan said.

"But I have been told when Bruce set that record he had a super winter carnival with more than 20 winners."

Gollan hasn't decided whether he will have any autumn carnival runners this year but says his main focus will be on the big races in Brisbane.

"I definitely won't be going to Melbourne because it is too soon," he said.

"Thousand Guineas runner-up Traveston Girl might go to Sydney or she might stay here and have a freshen-up for the winter.

"I am keen to get my other good filly Pienkna winning which means she will probably start her campaign here and then we would look at a possible Sydney trip."

Gollan said veteran galloper Temple Of Boom was back in work but was also likely to be kept for the winter.

"I brought him back now because I don't like leaving geldings in the paddock for too long and he has been doing some three-quarter pace work," he said.

It doesn't worry me if he doesn't start for another 16 weeks, he is that type of horse."

Gollan trained a double at Doomben last week and looks to have a strong hand again on Saturday with three-year-olds Max It Out and Rocklord in the Canadian Club Hcp (1350m).

"I have an opinion of both of them and I am hoping to get them both out to 1600-metres at their next starts," Gollan said.

"I think they could be a part of our winter plans."
