Ben, Will & JD Hayes
Stable Location: Euroa
Growing up steeped in the traditions and proven training methods of their Hall of Fame father David and grandfather Colin, the three Hayes brothers bring boundless enthusiasm, passion and innovation to their trade. Already proven more than worthy of taking up the reins at Lindsay Park and well-versed in the business and hands-on horsemanship, the super hard working trio are committed to continuing the integrity, success and tradition of Lindsay Park Racing.
After producing champions such as Dulcify, Rory’s Jester, Beldale Ball and At Talaq, in 1990 Colin handed over the reins to son David who went on to have his own extraordinary training success. David quickly cemented himself as one of Australia’s best trainers with horses like Better Loosen Up, Miss Finland and Fields of Omagh.
Under the training partnership of Ben, Will and JD Hayes, Lindsay Park continues to produce elite equine athletes with the likes of Mr Brightside, Little Brose and Zayydani.

Bjorn Baker
Stable Location: Warrick Farm
Bjorn Baker, a multiple Group One winning thoroughbred horse trainer, grew up surrounded by horses, stables, and the racetrack, absorbing the nuances of racing life from his earliest moments. His father, Murray Baker, a New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame legendary horse trainer was initially based in Woodville, before relocating to Cambridge, a hotbed of New Zealand racing.
One of the most defining moments of this early stage was the duo’s shared success with Lion Tamer, a striking colt that won the 2010 Victoria Derby. This major Australian success put the father-son training team on the map across the Tasman Sea and showcased their potential to compete on both sides of the Australasian racing scene. Lion Tamer’s victory was a launching pad that helped shape Bjorn’s ambition to strike out on his own as a head trainer.
