Lindsay Park, on the outskirts of
Euroa.
Hayes had sold his chunk of the family’s famously successful
Barossa Valley property and taken the brand – as well as the earthmovers – to
Creightons Creek.
Melbourne and
Sydney.
Hayes would continue to lavishly improve the Euroa property but that day up on the hill, it was quite some sight, quite some vision.
There are other great training properties, but probably none like David Hayes’ masterpiece.
Hayes was in a slump at the time, mostly because the Barossa property hadn’t yet been sold and the cost of setting up Euroa had sapped Hayes’ ability to buy well-bred stock.
SHOCK HAYES SPLIT AMICABLE – DABERNIG

Tom Dabernig says his shock split with
Ben Hayes was “very amicable” and that it was inevitable he would move on once the training ambitions of Hayes’ siblings grew closer to being realised.
Lindsay Park today announced the dramatic alteration to the famous stable, revealing Dabernig would move on and that
Ben Hayes’ 26-year-old brother JD would join him in partnership from the start of the new season, in August.
“It was probably inevitable at some point. Ben’s other brother Will is also planning to join the business at some stage in the future and I just thought it was time for me to diversify a bit,” Dabernig said.

Group 1 Australian Guineas day at Flemington produced more than one unexpected result and while on occasion it left punters scratching their heads, so too connections of beaten runners.
A $301 winner of the feature race meant there was plenty of fallout from the Guineas itself and the stewards were busy, suspending two leading jockeys for careless riding. Read all the information and fallout from a big news day.
PLATOON (3rd)
Jockey Brad Parnham: “It was a great run, the pace backed off and then they quickened at the 600m and when that happened he was left flat footed, but really built to the line. He wants more ground than 1400m so he was good.”

Jenn Cristy has a credo for these challenging times: “Be kind and have conversations with people.” A writer and performer of original music, as well as owner of One Pulse Entertainment, the past pandemic year has hit her hard. In addition to the obstacles that she, like many who make a living in the performing arts, faced, she lost a sister-in-law to COVID-19 in the spring of 2020.
“It definitely put a hard stop for me mentally and emotionally,” she says. When she’s emerged to play music in a safe, small place or for an online audience, “I have noticed that people are being a lot kinder I think we’re hungry for it. We want to be around each other. We want to be experiencing some sort of normalcy.”
