Hollie Doyle Shatters Records: A New Era in Female Horse Racing

Hollie Doyle sets a new record for the most winners by a female jockey in Britain, marking a historic moment in horse racing.

Hollie Doyle has once again made headlines by securing a monumental victory at Ascot, riding Brindavan to claim the record for the most winners by a female jockey in Britain. This triumph marks her 1,023rd victory, surpassing her previous tie with Hayley Turner.

A Historic Achievement

At just 28 years old, Doyle's career continues to soar. Her latest win on the 8-1 chance, trained by Sean Woods, is a testament to her skill and determination. "I've got to pinch myself to believe that I've done this well, so long may it continue," Doyle shared with Sky Sports Racing. "It's a great milestone to have reached and I'll keep kicking."

Consistent Excellence

Doyle's journey to this record has been marked by consistent excellence. In 2019, she broke the record for the most annual winners by a female jockey, achieving 116 victories. By March, she had reached 1,000 British winners, a remarkable feat that underscores her dominance in the sport.

Notable Milestones

Doyle's career is studded with significant milestones. In 2020, she secured her first Royal Ascot victory on Scarlet Dragon and claimed five victories in a single meeting at Windsor. Her achievements were recognized with the Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year award and a third-place finish in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award.

Breaking Barriers

Doyle has consistently broken barriers in horse racing. She was the first woman to ride a winner on British Champions Day at Ascot and the first female jockey to achieve Classic success when she won the French Oaks aboard Nashwa in 2022.

A Bright Future

With her latest record, Doyle continues to inspire and pave the way for future generations of female jockeys. Her dedication and talent ensure that she remains a formidable force in the world of horse racing.
