There were over 40 finalists on the day from all categories, Mens, Over 40's, Best Millinery and Classic Ladies Race wear.
Ms Hay said it was a fabulous day.
“I had no expectations of winning and was only hoping to get into the finals,” she said.
“To be declared winner was a shock, there were so many lovely outfits and I was thrilled that the judges chose my classic outfit.”
Ms Hay wore a Bronx and Banco midi dress with a full length zip featuring on the back, bursting with hydrangea flowers on a fine French black lace complete with a hat she designed for the outfit only weeks before.
“It was a truly wonderful experience and I'm very grateful to win the sash at such a prestigious event,” she said.
First place comes with a bounty of prizes for Ms Hay to enjoy, including a Canberra Centre gift card, pearl and white gold jewelry, a modeling workshop, one night’s accommodation and a two day Mercedes Benz experience, a spa treatment, a makeover and photo shoot and cinema tickets.
