Anderson – who runs his main operation out of Brisbane's Eagle Farm – became a regular fixture at tracks such as Townsville and Mackay through the back end of 2022.

The Anderson barn are using Bowen's Ben Bolt Park as their training base for their NQ pursuits.

Filly Glamborgini kicked off the new year in perfect fashion for the satellite team last month, claiming a QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap at Cluden Park in dominant fashion. 

Stable mate Harlow Queen will be out to break her maiden status when she contests the QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap at Townsville on Friday.

Harlow Queen has been to the races on four occasions – running in the money twice. 

"The stable up north, whilst it is never going to be big, we do identify the opportunity to race certain horses there," Anderson said. 

"If we can place them there and win QTIS races – which are $24,000 to the winner – then I think it is a wonderful opportunity for owners to get involved in.

"It is only going to be a very small part of our business."

The eight-event program to be run at Townsville on Friday was originally scheduled to be conducted at Bowen.

Bowen's Ben Bolt race course has received more than 900mm rainfall in January, including 120mm last Friday and Saturday, forcing the meeting to be moved north to Cluden Park.

Harlow Queen – a daughter of Better Than Ready – went close to breaking through for the first time in her career at Townsville late last month when she was beaten by just under a length over 1200 metres.

She drops back to the sprint trip of 1000 metres on Friday afternoon and will be guided by leading provincial heavyweight rider Ashley Butler.

"I think we do a really good job of placing our horses, we try and place them where we think they can win and be most competitive," Anderson said.

"I think that has shown by sending horses to places like Townsville and of recent Mackay."

Another maiden filly - Shezablast – is another from the Anderson team who has been racing at northern tracks of the Sunshine State since December of last year.

Lindsay Hatch is also another South East Queensland-based trainer who operates a North Queensland satellite stable.

Hatch – who runs his main stable out of Toowoomba's Clifford Park - will have two starters on Friday's program from Townsville.
