The third generation of Hayes family sons proudly and officially took up the Lindsay Park training reins on 21 June 2021 when Ben was joined by his younger brother JD to form a training partnership and open a new era in the 74-year history of the Hayes family business. On August 2, 2023, they were joined by JD’s twin brother Will. Will Hayes played top level VFL and AFL football while still riding trackwork for Lindsay Park before getting his trainer’s license. As sons of David and grandsons of Colin Hayes, Ben, Will and JD have been finely educated in horsemanship and are firmly dedicated to continuing the integrity and success of the stable so the Hayes family tradition can continue.

Growing up steeped in the traditions and proven training methods of their Hall of Fame father David Hayes and grandfather Colin Hayes, the three 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 in hands-on horsemanship, the trio are committed to continuing the integrity, success and tradition of Lindsay Park Racing.
