Hollie Doyle

He may not have had the hardest task on debut, but Wareeth (Sea The Stars) could hardly have made a bigger impression with a 14-length success at Newcastle on Saturday. Sent off the 5-4 second favourite for the mile novice on the Tapeta, Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's 510,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase was denied a match with Godolphin's Starglow (Space Blues) who was pulled up early on and travelled ominously well behind his only serious rival Showcasing Star (Showcasing). Looming two out, the son of the G3 Prix d'Aumale...

Hollie Doyle's tenure as retained rider for Imad Al Sagar's Blue Diamond Stud has ended. Champion jockey Oisin Murphy will become the new first-call rider for the operation. The best runner ridden by Doyle in the Al Sagar silks was undoubtedly the G1 Prix de Diane-winning Nashwa (Frankel), who also landed top-flight scores in the Nassau Stakes and Falmouth Stakes with Doyle aboard. Said Al Sagar's racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe, "We're keen to stress that we have had a fantastic relationship with Hollie throughout, and we hope that will continue...

Former Tom Clover trainee and dual Listed winner Witness Stand (Expert Eye), now representing the training partnership of Jamie Insole and Richard Newland, was let go at 25-1 for Tuesday's G2 HKJC World Pool Lennox Stakes at Goodwood and made a mockery of his extended odds with a stunning victory in a dramatic renewal of the seven-furlong contest. The well-supported dual winner Kinross (Kingman) was withdrawn at the start after receiving a kick from eventual third Audience (Iffraaj). "I have been involved in a lot of big winners and to...

Paying a big compliment to her Listed Pretty Polly Stakes conqueror Falakeyah on Saturday, TBT Racing's Qilin Queen booked her ticket to the Oaks in Newbury's Listed Childwickbury Stud Fillies' Trial Stakes. Quickly placed on the lead by Hollie Doyle, the Ed Walker-trained daughter of Pinatubo had to battle late to get to the line in front of the Lawn Stud homebred Revoir but proved up to the task to score by a short head as the 18-5 second favourite. The runner-up, a daughter of Study Of Man who also...

Hollie Doyle enjoyed another landmark victory when claiming the outright record for most winners by a female rider in Britain by striking on Brindavan 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. It's a great milestone...

Upping her game on her 3-year-old bow, Victorious Racing's Duty First (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) spreadeagled some choice opposition in Saturday's G3 Dubai Duty Free Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury. Always travelling with gusto near the front end, the Archie Watson-trained 33-1 shot opened up under Hollie Doyle from two out to take the seven-furlong 1,000 Guineas trial by 3 1/4 lengths from the 40-1 fellow outsider Hey Boo (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}). There was another length back to Time For Sandals (Ire) (Sands Of Mali {Fr}) in third. The winner, who...

Hollie Doyle brought up a landmark 1,000th domestic career winner when partnering the Marco Botti-trained Handle With Care (GB) (Advertise {GB}) to victory in the opening six-furlong fillies' handicap at Lingfield on Monday. "I'm delighted to have got that done," Doyle told Sky Sports Racing. "It's another milestone and hopefully there's another 1,000 under the bonnet somewhere! "I've had so much support over the years, so many people have been loyal to me, especially Archie [Watson]. Since I joined him, my career has really taken off. And Marco has also...
