Hayes brothers Ben, Will, and JD will take over the Flemington operation of the late Mike Moroney, with Lindsay Park now overseeing the historic Ballymore Stables.
The news was shared by Karen Moroney in a letter to owners on Thursday, following her partner’s sudden passing in February.
Since then, Anthony Feroce and Glen Thompson had been managing the stable, with Feroce transitioning to Lindsay Park, while Thompson will pursue other opportunities after being offered the chance to join the new team.
“It has been a difficult couple of months,” Karen said.
“After much thought, I have decided that Lindsay Park should take over our Flemington operation, a decision I believe reflects what Mike would have wanted.”
Moroney’s illustrious career saw him train 55 Group 1 winners, including the 2000 Melbourne Cup winner, Brew.
“Mike always held Ben, Will, and JD in the highest regard,” Karen continued. “I know their professionalism will ensure a seamless transition, providing the best future for our owners and horses.”
