Hollie Doyle Makes History with 1,000 British Wins – A Triumph for Women in Horse Racing

Hollie Doyle secures her 1,000th British victory, marking a historic milestone for women in horse racing.

Jockey Hollie Doyle has secured her 1,000th winner in Britain, becoming only the second woman after Hayley Turner to achieve this remarkable feat. Her victory aboard Handle With Care, trained by Marco Botti, at Lingfield on Monday further cements her status as one of the sport's rising stars.

A Trailblazer in Horse Racing

Since her debut 11 years ago, Doyle has shattered records and defied expectations. In 2019, she set a new benchmark by becoming the most successful female jockey in a single year with 116 victories. Last September, she reached 1,000 wins worldwide, showcasing her dominance on both national and international stages.

Career Highlights

  • 2020: First Royal Ascot victory on Scarlet Dragon
  • 2020: Five wins in a single meeting at Windsor
  • 2022: First woman to win on British Champions Day
  • 2022: First female jockey to claim a Classic success (French Oaks aboard Nashwa)

Doyle’s achievements earned her Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year and a third-place finish in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award.

Future Ambitions

Doyle remains driven to push further, stating:

"I’m delighted to have got that done, it's another milestone, and hopefully there's another 1,000 under the bonnet somewhere."
