Lindsay Park gears up for Queensland Carnival after Caulfield success

Lindsay Park is strengthening its Queensland Carnival team, with two of its three Caulfield winners now set to head north for major races.

The Ben, Will, and JD Hayes-trained stable dominated the meeting, claiming victories with Madiyya, Angry Skies, and War Machine. War Machine, who previously raced under Mike Moroney and Glen Thompson, will aim for a spot in the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap after bouncing back from a luckless second at Mornington with a dominant 1400m win. “He’s an exciting horse heading up to Queensland now,” Ben Hayes said. “We’ll look to run in the BRC Sprint in two weeks’ time.”

Madiyya, a promising three-year-old filly, made it back-to-back wins with an impressive 1400m victory in a benchmark 70 fillies race. Will Hayes said they would monitor her recovery before considering races like the Fred Best (Classic) and a potential trip north.

Angry Skies, at $41, claimed the final win for Lindsay Park, taking out the 1600m benchmark 84 event for a second consecutive victory.

War Machine ($1.90) and Madiyya ($2.05) were both well-backed, but Angry Skies provided a surprise at longer odds.
