The news that David Hayes has decided to sell another significant portion of his famous Lindsay Park  property in the Barossa Valley, has another member from the famous family, Sam confirming that Lindsay Park Stud is not for sale.

The Lindsay Park stud business currently operates off approximately 650 acres which will remain  in the ownership of the Hayes family. 

After re-establishing the stud business in 2005, Sam Hayes and business partner Darren Thomas purchased the remainder of the breeding business from David in 2008.

“The racing stable and the stud share a lot of history, as well as the Lindsay Park name; however we operate very different businesses. David trains horses and we breed them,” Sam explained.

“We respect David’s decision and we have enjoyed operating from adjoining properties however this move does not directly affect the stud or our plans.

“Being based here in SA is an integral part of what we are passionate about. We believe we can stand top quality stallions in South Australia, stallions that will attract some of the best mares from right across the country.”

“Naturally we will be following the sale process with a great deal of interest as there could be a lot of synergy established with the right buyer,” Sam explained.

There are currently seven stallions on the Lindsay Park Stud roster and they are expecting to attract over 450 mares to their Barossa Valley base in 2010.
