Sam Day (1802–66) was an English jockey who won The Derby on 3 occasions: in 1821 aboard the grey Gustavus, in 1830 on Priam and once again atop Pyrrhus The First in the 1846 Derby.[1] He also won a 1,000 Guineas / Oaks double in 1846 on Mendicant.{{sfn|Wright|1986|p=73}} The son of John Day, and brother of John Barham Day, he became apprenticed to a trainer called Cooper, who trained for the Duke of York in Newmarket. After his second Derby win, he retired to a farm near Reading, but when this was not a financial success he wasted back down to 7 stone 12 pounds and, with help from his nephew John, resumed riding.{{sfn|Mortimer|Onslow|Willett|1978|p=164}} When eventually he retired again, he trained on a small scale at Ascot.{{sfn|Mortimer|Onslow|Willett|1978|p=164}} He was one of several horsemen from the Day family, but was reputed to be more honest than other family members.{{sfn|Wright|1986|p=73}} He was a cheerful, hardy man{{sfn|Wright|1986|p=73}} and a tough, wiry, elegant rider.{{sfn|Mortimer|Onslow|Willett|1978|p=164}} See also
