HORSE trainer David Hayes has had plenty of champion gallopers in his stable over the years but there’s one he rates above all others.

IT’S been revealed that last year’s winner of the Euroa Cup, Final Jest, will not contest this year’s event.

CANFORD Cliffs has just arrived back at Philip and Patti Campbell’s Blue Gum Farm from his Irish base at the famed Coolmore Stud.

WHEN David Hayes told his staff at Lindsay Park that he’d put on drinks at the farm every time the stable won a Group 1, he didn’t think they’d be waiting four years.

EUROA trainer David Hayes will return to his old stomping ground when he races recent stable recruit Criterion in Hong Kong next week.
