The energetic Modern South Wales Reinswoman Haylee Day has an impressive résumé for the horse industry – and it has just held a great performance for the racing sport.
In Goulburn in the NSW Southern Tablelands, Day landed her first driving winner last Friday (March 21st) when he was successful with a guilty party (Village racket) in the $ 9762 DACHED DASH 19TH April in River Paceway, year.
“It was my 22nd drive and I was just getting there, but I thought I had the house on my way in my pocket,” said an enthusiastic day.
The guilty party is trained by her cousin Scott Hewitt – who officially drove another of his own horses with a head in my crackling rosie.
“I drove outside of Scott in the death seat, but the guilty party is currently in the form of form.
“I can't describe it – a bit surreal!”
The 31-year-old day is a third generation participant in sports, which enters the footsteps of her slow grandfather Frank and her father Neil, a well-known and clever conditioner of horses.
Her older sister Amy trains a vast team with partner Matt Craven in Victoria near Terang, while the younger brother Justin is a farrier.
Since leaving the school as a 17-year-old, Day has always been involved in horses-as well as not surprisingly with Neil one of 10 children, most of whom found their way into sport.
“At the moment I drive on the Goulburn racing track for Danielle Seib on Gallops. Every morning I do either five or six horses and it is an early start from around five to 5:30 a.m. in winter we will go about an hour later,” she said.
“Then I am in the father's stables at nine o'clock to lend a hand him with his team. He is currently doing 20 horses, including three crusher.
“I enjoy breaking in the seasons. From mouth to teaching, what is expected is great. Dad always broke her to the saddle, but since I was interested, he took a back seat.
“I think the progression of the horses brings so much satisfaction.”
Day, who admits to love a modern challenge, recently received a Gallop's trainer license.
“I am now enjoying both codes of Horse racing, but they had asked me two years ago, I said that my preference was certainly the thoroughbred,” she said.
Day spent more than two years with the slow Group One -Gallopp trainer Guy Walter Walter on the Warwick Farm.
“I really got the mistake and I skipped. I did a dozen official exams with the idea of being a jockey. But I gave up this idea when my body collapsed while trying to stay near the weight.
“I also spent eight years at Randwick with the Snowden team and worked with Kerry Parker. I was lucky enough to work with a few great teams, and I have great memories to travel the massive carivals that look after horses in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.”
DAY said that your focus was currently on using her concession description with dishwashing and continuing to get winners.
“Of course, one day I would also like to have a few gallopers in training,” she laughed.
