THE resurgence of David Hayes has coincided with the near completion of the Hall of Fame inductee's training and spelling property at Euroa, reports Craig Young in the Sydney Morning Herald.

His report adds: The state-of-the-art complex has led to the once-dominant Hayes being absent from the big carnivals around the country but it was expected and of little concern. It is all about planning for the future, just as Hayes's acclaimed father Colin did when setting up the famed Lindsay Park training, spelling, and breeding operation in South Australia several decades ago. While Hayes still has stables at Flemington, the move to Euroa has given the trainer easier access to racing in NSW, provincial Victoria and South Australia. For good measure, Hayes has Spacecraft in tomorrow's $1 million Railway Stakes in Perth.

In recent months, Hayes has targeted Sydney and was back at Canterbury on Wednesday where Unchain My Heart won after scoring at Randwick on November 1.

''Since the beginning of the season we've had eight winners and eight seconds in Sydney and we're knocking them through at about 20 per cent,'' Hayes said yesterday. ''The best strike rate of any of the major stables up there...It is one hour and 40 minutes from Euroa to Flemington, seven hours to Sydney and eight to Adelaide. That horse [Unchain My Heart] left Euroa on Monday night, had a walk around at Randwick on Tuesday and will be back in her paddock this afternoon [Thursday] with her feet up...It is the new way of travelling horses, it used to be you were in Sydney for a week and they'd go off their form, go off their feed but they don't have time to fret now.''
