2. 19 Apr. 4th winner for The Queen riding Sign Manual at Newbury in a very close finish. For Hayley that win was her highlight of the year: HT: ‘Riding The Queen’s Sign Manual to win in front of her Majesty and the BBC cameras at Newbury in April was my highlight of the year. It was a fantastic buzz and I admit there were some nerves walking into the paddock but The Queen immediately puts me at ease and we went on to discuss the horses’.

3. 9 May. First double at Goodwood, where Hayley was an ambassador last year. The first win was with Enobled, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, for whom Hayley hadn’t won yet. The second one was with her favourite filly, Ribbons in her second race. HT: ‘I was edging to the outside, but there was quite a strong headwind so I decided to take shelter and come between horses. She showed a lovely turn of foot and it all worked out nicely’.

4. 22 Jun. The best results of the season with 3 photo finish winners: Azrur and Ribbons won at Newmarket and Standpoint and Lingfield. Only 3 days after splitting up, Michael Bell and Hayley reunited in triumph thanks to Azrur. One hour later, Ribbons and Hayley won their third race and kept both unbeaten. HT: ‘It was a bit of a messy race, but she stayed on really well’. Hayley can’t ride her ‘bubble’ other times due to her injuries. Ribbons won again at Glorious Goodwoond and lost by first time at Yarmouth. HT: ‘I missed riding her when she got beaten at Yarmouth in September. I don’t think she was her true self that day. She does have a bit of an attitude and should mature mentally, as well as physically, next year’.

5. 3 Jul. Seal Of Approval won at Kempton racecourse showing a great turn of foot. HT: ‘She was having her third run and first of the season. She was quite green and ran in snatches but once she got going and the hang of it all again, she won quite comfortably’. Sadly, Hayley suffered a fall riding Seal Of Approval at Doncaster. After that, the Fanshawe’s filly won the Fillies and Mares group one at Ascot. HT: ‘I knew that she was special. She’s still a little weak and has some growing to do. She has a big future.’

6. 8 Sep. The best rides of Hayley this season were with Hallelujah. In May, both won a good handicap at Newbury after a hard fight with Richard Hughes’ horse. This day both got another victory in a listed race run at York after an incredible finish. HT: ‘I’m thrilled really. I’ve put in a lot of effort to get back riding. Win a listed race straight away meant a lot of for me’

7. 7 Sep. Flying Bear broke a losing streak at Ascot, where Hayley didn’t ride a winner from two years ago.

8. Two rides in Group One races. The first one was in Dubai World Cup Night, where Hayley sat on I’m A Dreamer, finishing 7th in the Dubai Duty Free. In June Hayley travelled to France, riding Glacial Age in the Jockey Club, the French Derby.
