Classic-winning jockey Hollie Doyle reached 1,000 career winners at Goodwood on Tuesday.

Doyle, who won her first race 11 years ago, was aboard trainer David Simcock's Leyhaimur (GB) (Pinatubo {Ire}) when winning the William Hill Keep Your Raceday Positive Fillies' Nursery Handicap over six furlongs. She had scored win 999 earlier in the card with Almaty Star (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in the William Hill Most Top Price Runners Handicap for trainer Robert Cowell.

“Never when I started off my career did I imagine I would ride this many winners,” Doyle told Racing TV.

“I'm just really grateful for all the support I've had so far; from trainers, owners, my agent–they've done a great job for me so far, even though I'm probably a nightmare to work for.

“Now all I can think about is the next thousand!”

Doyle has enjoyed great success in the saddle, and set a new record for number of wins by a female jockey in 2019 with 116. She was aboard Bradsell (GB) (Tasleet {GB}) in the Nunthorpe Stakes at York last month en route to taking her ninth Group 1 win in Europe.
