Hayes brothers win $2m Five Diamonds and two other features in one day
The Hayes brothers' Lindsay Park stable won three feature races on the same day, with Evaporate capturing the $2 million Five Diamonds.
The Hayes trainers Ben, Will and JD had a day to remember, with victories across two states. Evaporate, ridden by Nash Rawiller, took the Five Diamonds in brilliant fashion, coming from behind to beat Zambardo in the closing stages.
Plymouth, the Hayes brothers' other horse, finished third in the same race. Earlier the same afternoon, Act Up won the Golden Gift at Rosehill for $1 million, and Soldi claimed the Inglis Banner at Flemington for $400,000.
The three wins gave the Victoria-based stable a lucrative day. Will Hayes said the stable was proud of the effort, calling it a terrific moment for Lindsay Park.
