SACKED Gold Coast Suns footballer Campbell Brown is in trouble again, arrested while celebrating his big win at Saturday's Magic Millions races.

Brown, sacked in disgrace last year after shattering the jaw of teammate Steven May after a pre-season training camp in the US, was in a brighter mood yesterday when Sweet Idea, the horse he co-owns with real estate kings the Henderson brothers, won the prestigious Magic Millions Guineas for three-year-olds.

However, the night took a turn for the worse, with the former Suns hard man arrested after a scuffle with police at a Broadbeach nightclub.

Police say officers were walking through the nightclub when Brown and another man refused a police directive to move out of the way.

The men allegedly made contact with the officers.

They were taken to Surfers Paradise Police Station and charged with assault/obstruct police.

Both men were released from the Southport watchhouse early today and will face court in February.

Brown, who retired from AFL following the LA disgrace, is an avid horse racing fan, enjoying previous success with Sweet Idea as a two-year-old at last year's Magic Millions.

It is believed Brown will relocate to Melbourne.
