Hayes brothers land winner’s cheque and Inglis bonus in Cox Plate Day 2YO race.
The perfect result for Lindsay Park in Saturday's $500,000 Inglis Banner would have been having the first two over the line, but none of the Hayes brothers were complaining with first and fifth.
Bold Bastille picked up the $300,000 winner's purse with a dominant win, while Blue Allure landed a $215,000 payday despite missing a place.
She picked up $12,500 for finishing fifth, but also earned the $200,000 prize for being the first horse home that has at least 75 percent female ownership with both Ben and JD Hayes' partners both involved in the ownership.
"She's paid for herself in one running coming fifth," Ben Hayes said.
"It's a good way to get in the good books."
It is the second year in a row Lindsay Park has collected the Inglis Pink Bonus after winning last year's Inglis Banner with Arkansaw Kid, a son of Harry Angel.
A daughter of first-season sire Blue Point, Blue Allure cost $110,000 at this year's Inglis Premier Sale, the same offering that Lindsay Park paid $270,000 for Bold Bastille in partnership with Ozzie Kheir.
That daughter of Brazen Beau had impressed with a couple of soft second placings in Flemington jumpouts during October but exceeded expectations with the ease of her debut win.
Bold Bastille jumped straight to the front and had the race won on the turn, being eased down by jockey Mark Zahra to score by three lengths in a time of 58.33 seconds, which was 0.16secs outside Secret Agenda's class record.
Second over the line was Hayasugi, 1-1/2 lengths clear of Chosen Legend.
"At the 400 (metres) I went and it was all over," Zahra said.
"I'd been cuddling her a bit at the trials but I just thought that there wasn't a heap there. I was wrong."
Bold Bastille is out of the Exceed And Excel mare Chloe In Paris, who was a Listed winner over 1000m and is out of Group 2 winner Innovation Girl, who is the dam of 2019 Inglis Banner winner Ideas Man.
