About

Start Of Day is a 4yo bay horse trained by Chr Head. He is by Night Of Thunder out of Pacifica Highway. So far he has recorded three wins. On 19 Jul 2024 at Vichy he captured his biggest victory, taking the $55,000 Madame Jean Couturie Listed Stakes. The animal has been a rewarding target for bettors; a backer who supported him throughout would have earned a 27% return on investment.
