- Gay was the first woman to ride a winner at Royal Ascot and went on to train Group winners on the Flat. She is steeped in Racing, her dad, Paul Kelleway, won two Champion Hurdles aboard Bula and partnered What A Myth to win the Gold Cup, he later became a Group 1 winning trainer on the Flat.
What a great interview( note, no interruptions) with a great lady. Articulate, intelligent, down to earth and with an encyclopedic memory.Smashing job!!👍
Brilliant from Gay , always had a soft spot for the Kellaways , her Dad got me out big hole when he rode Bula to victory in the Champion Hurdle
Very underrated trainer and can land a punt as well top jockey when she rode as well 😊

Also. I’ve tried to look up Gays crashing fall at Brighton. Can anyone remember the year or other references I can check out? Thank you in advance.
Does she still have a " No lose" betting account with Victor Chandler?
I think keeping the stable small is a good plan for yourself, its much easier to keep everything in your head, and have tight control over finance plus staffing. Good staff will need accommodation, and the rest. When I worked at Jackdaws the owner was a businessman, and he had a totally realistic approach, employed a trainer, good staff accommodation, salaries, promotion, canteen etc.
What a difference when i went to work at another traditional yard, it was next door to slavery, no holiday pay, no overtime. I discovered all the rest of the yard had twenty minutes for breakfast every day, not me. I didnt know cos I was out exercising the horses on roadwork! Then i was asked to come in early in the afternoon to he,p supervise new staff, so I only had 2 hours off during the day. Normal hours started at six o clock and finished at six o clock. Absolute scandal when I think about it.
One week I worked seventy hours, thats ten hours per day!
Well said that went on lots in days gone be with trainers. especially in the Northern areas
Gay did ride well, and I could understand that she must have quite an education.
Sexism and bullying was rife up tp the late 1990's
I wonder why no one would ever send you a good horse?
If your buying horses at that sort of price, its much easier for an owner to take a punt with a horse, whereas if the horse costs £100K even wealthy owners will want to think about it, have it vetted, X rays, all the rest of it.
