Herefordshire's Hollie Doyle adds another record to tally
HEREFORDSHIRE born jockey Hollie Doyle became the winning-most female jockey in Britain following her 1,023rd victory on Brindavan at Ascot races on Saturday. Doyle, 28, passed 100 winners for the first time in 2019 and she had reached the 1,000 domestic winner mark back in March. Since reaching 100 winners for the first time, Doyle has passed that mark in each subsequent year, with a personal-best tally of 172 being set in the 2021 season. Doyle made her breakthrough at Group 1 level in 2020, the same year she was appointed as retained rider for Kuwaiti owner-breeder Imad Alsagar, when she rode Glen Shiel to victory in the British Champions Sprint. Her other big-race victories to date include three Group 1s on Nashwa, headed by a Classic victory in the 2022 French Prix de Diane, and two Royal Ascot successes on Bradsell in the 2023 King's Stand Stakes and the 2022 Coventry Stakes. Doyle said: "It's a nice milestone to reach and I'm really grateful to all the females before me. "I try to keep my head down and keep things moving forward the whole time. I've no room for slackening off the pace. You have to be really resilient in this sport and everyone has to work hard. You have no choice but to. I'm not an exception." When asked for a career highlight, she added: "My first Classic on Nashwa. That was pretty amazing. I've had some big days, but the first Classic is always a big one.' Alongside her domestic race-riding achievements, Doyle made history when she became the first female jockey to win a leg of the prestigious Hong Kong International Jockeys' Challenge in 2020 and the first female rider to be given a short-term riding contract by the Japan Racing Association in 2022.

Another landmark for Hollie Doyle at Ascot
Doyle had moved alongside Hayley Turner at Chelmsford on Thursday and took the lead on her own with win number 1,023 on the Sean Woods-trained 8-1 chance in the Carey Group Handicap. She told Sky Sports Racing: 'It's good and like I've said in the past, I've got to kind of pinch myself to believe that I've done this well, so long may it continue.' The 28-year-old is married to fellow top jockey Tom Marquand and added: 'We've both come a long way and some days we do sit back and really appreciate what's happended, but we're also always looking forward to what we can do next or what's around the corner. 'But it's a great milestone to have reached and I'll keep kicking.' Asked to name the pick of her many highlights so far, Doyle opted for her French Oaks triumph on board Nashwa. 'It probably would be my first Classic on Nashwa in Chantilly, that was special,' she said. Paying tribute to Doyle, winning trainer Woods commented: 'We don't get to use her much but obviously today I asked her to get a lead and everything went like clockwork, she's a great asset to the sport.'
