Oliver for Hall of Fame

27/08/2008 1:00:00 AM
Trainer David Hayes joined his late father Colin in the Australian Racing Hall of Fame, while jockey Damien Oliver was also among the seven inductees announced yesterday.

The two are the only new members still active in the sport.

The others to be officially inducted next Monday are champion race mares Tranquil Star and Wenona Girl, retired trainer Bob Hoysted, the late Frank Dempsey who rode the first of three Caulfield Cup winners in 1915 and pioneer breeder Percy Miller.

Colin Hayes was one of the inaugural inductees to the Hall of Fame in 2001.

Oliver's inclusion follows that of Darren Beadman last year, with the pair the two riders to be inducted at the height of their careers.
