Most of St. Aubin’s success was at Albion Park, when it was a sand track, and when he was retired in 1942, he was purchased by the Jordan clan.
“When he finished racing, Dad bought him and he came up to our cattle station outside of Prairie,” Nott recalls.
“All the properties in those days, usually had a thoroughbred stallion.
“There were lots of amateur meetings in those days that a lot of the station horses raced at.
“A lot of the St. Aubin horses, my Dad raced.”
The Queensland Horse Racing Museum describes St. Aubin as one of the best Albion Park horses of all-time, as he won 20 races at the venue in the 1930s and 40s, while he was also a handy horse on the grass, winning at Doomben (twice) and Eagle Farm.
