Hall Of Fame trainer David Hayes has confirmed the sale of part of the famous Lindsay Park training establishment at Angaston in South Australia.

Hayes put the ‘Raceside’ section of Lindsay Park up for sale last year and has announced stable client and respected businessman Wayne Mitchell has bought the property for an undisclosed sum.

Mitchell has joined forces with Hayes’s Adelaide racing manager Tony McEvoy to form McEvoy Mitchell Racing; the pair will change the name of ‘Raceside’ to ‘Kildalton Park’.

Hayes has moved all of the stable’s horses residing in South Australia to the main Lindsay Park property but will continue to use Raceside’s facilities until his base at Euroa in Victoria is completed before the end of the year.

Hayes said McEvoy would leave the Lindsay Park operation in next week to become a trainer again in his own right and the stable’s main horse breaker and pre-trainer from 2011.

McEvoy’s fresh start will end 33 years of service for the Hayes stable, which included a four-year stint as the head trainer of the Lindsay Park operation after the death of Peter Hayes in 2001.

McEvoy prepared the popular galloper Fields Of Omagh to claim the 2003 Cox Plate.
