Tom Dabernig set up solo training operation

Tom Dabernig will leave his training partnership with his cousin Ben Hayes at the end of the season, with Hayes' younger brother JD set to join Ben with Lindsay Park set undergo a major restructure. 

Ben will then be joined by his younger brother JD from August 1. 

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Dabernig said after 25 years at Lindsay Park he was excited to pursue an independent training career. 

"It is a decision that I have not taken lightly, and I am extremely thankful for the opportunities that the Hayes family have afforded me, and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all the Hayes family," Dabernig said. 

"I would especially like to thank all the dedicated Lindsay Park team and their network of loyal owners and I wish Ben and JD and the Lindsay Park team all the success for the future." 

Dabernig was instrumental in developing the Lindsay Park property at Euroa before joining David Hayes in a training partnership in 2014. 

Ben Hayes joined the partnership in 2016 and David left last year for Hong Kong. 

"After five years as co-trainer at Lindsay Park, I feel naturally very excited to take this next step in my career, and just the same about welcoming my brother into the partnership," Hayes said. 

"Lindsay Park Racing is in my blood and I am so passionate about continuing its reputation and striving for success at every level."
