Reynolds took out the final heat in the Young HRC Rising Star Series on Sunday, making his debut at the metropolitan track one to remember.

"It was pretty special, it was my first drive there and got a win," he said.

"I thought I would have been (nervous) but I wasn't, not until about halfway through the race when I thought I was a chance."

One of the biggest benefits of the series is the fact it can put up-and-coming drivers in the shop window and gives the opportunity to race at tracks and with trainers they normally wouldn't get the chance to.

As someone who has only mainly raced around the local area in the past, this series allowed the Dubbo driver to race at Young, Bathurst, Newcastle, Penrith and in Sydney at Menangle.

Reynolds was keen to make the most of that opportunity and hoped he was now on his way to entrenching himself in the industry and fulfil his dream.

"I'd love to train and drive full time, that's what I want to do," he said.

"I do a bit of labouring work now to get by but trying to get work at a stable in Sydney or Bathurst and get more experience so I can one day go out on my own."

Reynolds was well-placed throughout the 1609m journey on Sunday.

He sat one out, one back for the majority of the race but moved three wide as the race hit the bend for home.

The aspiring reinsman then got Shannonsablast ($12.80) to kick and move to the front and despite Stormont Star flying home down the outside, held on for a one-and-a-half-metre win.

Driver Ellen Bartley and Stormont Czar, the pre-race favourite at $2.60, was second while Stirling William ($18.50) was third.

Series winning driver Jack Trainor threatened the leaders with Popfromthebeach ($5.70) but in the end he had to settle for fourth.

"I got a bit of luck with the horse inside me missing the start but got a good position and panned out really well," he said.

"I thought it would be hard to beat in that field, it's really on the rise and is going to win more races.

"With the others missing the start it panned out better than I could have thought."

Reynolds' father, Peter, is a well-known local trainer while his brother Jordan also drives.

Reynolds said he received plenty of helpful tips and advice from those and many others from the local Dubbo harness racing fraternity before learning more while away with the Rising Star Series.

"It was a good experience, I learnt a lot and met drivers I never had before and got to mix with really good drivers like Jack Trainor and Chris Geary," he said.

"Everyone is different and the way to train has changed a lot now so I really learnt a lot."
