Ruhrfisch comments: Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article).

 * The lead should be an accessible and inviting overview of the whole article and should be 2 or 3 paragraphs (as mentioned in the previous PR too). Nothing important should be in the lead only - since it is a summary, it should all be repeated in the body of the article itself. Please see WP:LEAD
 * My rule of thumb is to include every header in the lead in some way, but the article needs many fewer sections / headers too. See WP:HEAD
 * Biggest problem as I see it is that the article needs more references, for example the first seven sections in his 2 year old career have no refs. My rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref.
 * Internet refs need URL, title, author if known, publisher and date accessed. cite web and other cite templates may be helpful. See WP:CITE and WP:V
 * Per WP:CITE references come AFTER punctuation, and are usually at the end of a sentence or phrase, so fix things like In preparation for the 2008 Courage Under Fire Chariots of Fire, Lombo Pocket Watch won two country free-for-all's at Menangle and Newcastle, the latter in 1:55.5, complete with a 26.0 second final quarter[19].
 * Any chance for an image or two?
 * Article needs a serious copyedit to clean up grammar. There is a lot of jargon to explain or avoid too - see WP:JARGON
