Hayes brothers arrive on big stage with Doncaster glory

Hayes brothers arrive on big stage with Doncaster glory. Mr Brightside's fast-finishing win in the $3m Doncasters Mile (1600m) at Royal Randwick on Saturday. It's their first Group 1 win as a training partnership. They have been training for less than 12 months at Lindsay Park after their father, Hall of Famer David Hayes, decided to return to Hong Kong. The previous biggest win was the Group 2 Matriarch Stakes with Zaydani at Flemington last spring.

Hayes brothers arrive on big stage with Doncaster glory. Mr Brightside leads home a Victorian quinella in the Doncasters Mile ahead of I'm Thunderstruck. Ben Hayes hopes prospective owners will back their Lindsay Park stables based in Euroa. Williams has had a lot of success with the Hayes family over the years.

Mr Brightside won the Doncaster Mile. Golden Eagle winner I'm Thunderstruck was second. Icebath finished third. Jamie Kah's horse Forbidden Love didn't perform as well as last year. The horse was not as sharp as it had been. It was the first time the Hayes brothers had won at the race.

Fireburn's fifth straight win in the Inglis Sires' Produce race at Randwick was the best backed runner on the Randwick card. Hitotsu's victory in Australian Derby was a handy result for the favourite backers. Shelby Sixtysix was best bet in TJ Smith race. Nature Strip moved from $7 into $4 to win the TAB Everest. Forbidden Love was most backed over I'm Thunderstruck in Doncaster race 9. Mr Brightside was ninth most supported with only 3% of the hold.
