Record Turnover at Arqana December (cont. from p1) AThe upper end of the market has been very strong whether it be for mares or foals, showing a bigger demand than offered,@ Araqana=s Eric Hoyeau continued. AIt is particularly pleasing to see how many international buyers were active, both new and old faces. The work carried out by Arqana in view to this has borne its fruits, with the team travelling and working in tandem with our overseas correspondents to ensure this. The help of the French Racing and Breeding Committee has also greatly helped us to achieve the best possible promotion of the sale. We would like to really thank the vendors that have put their trust in us and wish all the success in the world for the buyers that have invested during these four days. This year's sales have followed the international trend, and we end the year on a level comparable to 2011, and therefore close to the French sales record." SALES NEWS

The weekend sale was orchestrated by sole owner David Hayes, who inherited the property from his late father Colin in 1990 and bought out his siblings after a decade of training successfully in Hong Kong from 1995. David first attempted to to sell the property in June 2010, when he surprisingly relocated to Victoria where he has established a new A$20 million Lindsay Park at rural Euroa, an hour and a half north of Melbourne. The aim was to train using the same methods as LINDSAY PARK LOST TO RACING AFTER 50 Lindsay Park, SA, but be better placed geographically-- YEARS OF INFLUENCE roughly half way between major racing centers of By Richard Zachariah Melbourne and Sydney.

He also repeated his mantra that the future belonged to those who planned for it. Colin Hayes was a character with a work ethic that knew no bounds, and not only did he win continuous Melbourne and Adelaide training premierships, he also set new standards with his sire Without Fear, who broke the world record for 2-year-old winners in 1975/76. In that year the stallion sired 30 individual winners of 48 races. The Hayes dynasty not only unearthed turf stars like Japan Cup winner (Loosen Up), the ill- fated champion Dulcify, two-time Cox Pate winner Fields of Omagh (Rubiton), the future champion sire (Octagonal) and the only filly ever to win a Golden Slipper and Victorian Oaks, Miss Finland (Redoute's Choice). Equally importantly, they introduced the likes of Robert Sangster and Sheikh Hamdan to Australian racing. The trio masterminded the shuttle of international stallions into Australia, now a dominant part of Australian genetics and, of course, reached a pinnacle in the imported Danehill (Danzig) emerging as a breed- changing international super-success. Sheikh Hamdan, Sangster and Hayes also pioneered travelling international horses to race in the and showed the way with celebrated Cup winners, Sangster's U.S.-bred Belldale Ball and the Sheikh Hamdan-owned and UK-born and -raised Jeune (Kalaglow).
