- John Day began training horses in this area in the late 18th. century. Later, in 1809, he took a lease on the Down Farm, Houghton, for the purpose of training horses.Although he was a large man, tipping the scales at 18 stones, he fathered five sons who all became jockeys. One of the these sons, John Day (the 2nd) later took over the stables. Nicknamed “Honest John” because he looked like a serious clergyman, who always carried a black cotton umbrella, his dislike of smoking did not extend to to other vices like gambling! He “professed” himself greatly interested in the welfare of his stable lads and jockeys.
