Dabernig Racing

In 2021 Tom Dabernig made the decision to establish his own business and relocated to Warrnambool, Victoria in an exciting new chapter. Having worked his whole life at Lindsay Park with his family it was a big decision to come to and not an easy one to make.
With the support of his own young family, he made the move to establish his own training operation. Tom has the experience and desire to continue to evolve as a trainer. He is passionate about the country environment as a preferred place to train horses and is eager to incorporate the beach and all the facilities that Warrnambool has to offer into his training regime.
Dabernig Racing has hit the ground running in the first 12 months due to outstanding support from owners and the dedicated staff that have helped establish the business so far.

Tom is a third-generation horse trainer and a family member of one of the most successful racing families in the world. He was raised at the famous Lindsay Park property in Angaston, South Australia, Tom grew up learning all the facets of the family business under the watchful eye of the late Legendary Colin S. Hayes.

Grahame Begg

Grahame Begg operates a boutique stable at Cranbourne, allowing him to cater to each horse’s individual needs and offering his clients’ horses the best facilities to help achieve racetrack success.
The hands-on trainer – a 15-time Group 1 winner – prides himself on his attention to detail and providing owners with in-depth insight and an overall enjoyable experience – and hopefully on-track success.
Grahame Begg Racing encourages new and existing clients to make contact about new ownership opportunities. The stable is a regular at all the major yearling sales and would welcome your interest.

Grahame Begg was “born to be a trainer” being the son of Hall of Fame member Neville Begg but a person’s family tree only takes one so far.
But it is fair to say that Grahame has forged his own successful training career, firstly based at Randwick in Sydney before moving to Melbourne in mid 2016, preparing 76 stakes winners, including 15 at Group One level.
Grahame took over his father’s Randwick stable at the age of 29 when Neville took up the opportunity to train in Hong Kong in 1990 after more than three decades based at Sydney’s premier track.
Neville’s departure did not stop the momentum, with Grahame immediately experiencing Group One success with 1990 Doomben Cup winner Eye Of The Sky.
A steady stream of high-class horses would follow, including Telesto, Mayaha, Our Egyptian Raine, Secret Admirer, Ilovethiscity, Written Tycoon, withering sprinter All Silent, Bonanova, Monopolize and Palacio De Cristal to name a few.
That consistent success, despite running a deliberately sized boutique stable, is a testament to Grahame’s ability, patience and attention to detail, particularly during a time where the racing industry has evolved with the growth of the “mega stables”.

In late 2014, Grahame and his wife Sue made a life-changing decision: to shut down their Randwick stable and enjoy an 18-month sabbatical from the sport. But like most trainers, Grahame never lost his competitive spirit and wanted to once again take up the challenge, but this time in Victoria. The move to Melbourne, with bases at the state-of-the-art Pinecliff training centre near Mornington and at the metropolitan hub of Caulfield, has not slowed him down.
With only a handful of horses to start with, Grahame was undeterred and has had consistent city runners and regular metropolitan winners. Then emerged “Nugget”, a stocky two-year-old named Written By early in the two-year-old season of 2017-18. A son of star stallion and one of his former Group winners trained by Grahame in Written Tycoon, and bred by his father, Neville, Written By would win his first four starts including the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes before being the first colt home in that year’s Golden Slipper when fourth. The star sprinter, a valuable stallion, now stands at Widden Stud in NSW having won six of his 11 starts and $1.8 million in prize money.
Grahame has stood the test of time, and with elite facilities and loyal and experienced staff, that success is sure to continue for years to come.

Lindsay Park Racing

Ben and JD Hayes were joined by their brother Will in the Lindsay Park Racing training partnership on August 1st, 2023.
Growing up steeped in the traditions and proven training methods of their Hall of Fame father David Hayes and grandfather Colin Hayes, the three brothers bring boundless enthusiasm, passion and innovation to their trade. Already proven more than worthy of taking up the reins at Lindsay Park and well-versed in the business and in hands-on horsemanship, the trio are committed to continuing the integrity, success and tradition of Lindsay Park Racing.
Lindsay Park Racing is a private training facility near Euroa in Victoria where trainers Ben, Will & JD Hayes train. Following in the footsteps of Hall of Fame trainers, father David and grandfather Colin, they use unique world-class facilities in a 1500 acre horse paradise to create successful equine athletes.”

Anthony Freedman

Anthony is the third eldest of racing’s famous Freedman brothers. He has been in integral part of the vast Freedman Racing operation since the mid-1980s. After Anthony completed Year 12 at Canberra Grammar, he joined his brothers Lee and Richard, as an assistant, at Warwick Farm in 1983. He was part of the move to Melbourne, training out of Flemington, in 1984.
Lee held the licence but the brothers worked as a team. A few years later, youngest brother, Michael, join the team.
Late in 1992, Anthony pioneered the Freedman brothers’ first foray interstate, when he opened a stable at Randwick. In that first year in Sydney, Anthony (under Lee’s licence) prepared Bint Marscay to win the 1993 Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes at Rosehill.

Anthony, who has a keen eye for a yearling, is heavily involved in the yearling sale inspection process. It was Anthony who selected and bought Naturalism as a yearling for only $35,000. And he also selected Mummify ($60,000) and True Glo ($40,000) out of the Adelaide Sales.

Saab Hasan

“I always maintain a horse doesn’t know what a $50 note is. If you give a horse love and give them passion, they will respond” – Saab Hasan.
Saab’s mantra comes from his extraordinary path to becoming a trainer, which started early in his childhood in the Turkish side of Cyprus.
War forced Hasan and his family to head to Australia for a better life but Saab had already told his grandfather he would become a horse trainer, despite not laying his hands on a horse on the family farm.
Saab’s family relocated to Australia in time for the youngster to see Van Der Hum win the 1976 Melbourne Cup in torrential rain but the newly-arrived Hasan was hooked on the great sport that is thoroughbred racing.
Saab tried every stable at Flemington at the time looking for a job in racing before Mick Cerchi gave the 15-year-old his first break in the game.
Hasan learned from Cerchi and other outstanding horsemen such as John Sadler, David Hayes and the master trainer Bart Cummings before branching out on his own.
Saab is now based at the famous Chiquita Lodge stables at Flemington where his horses get the best of everything at the world class training centre.
