H Doyle

Hollie Doyle made a winning debut as a jockey, scoring at Salisbury in 2013 aboard The Mongoose. After completing high school, she joined the yard of David Evans in Wales, and during winter, would spend six weeks riding out at Santa Anita, California. In 2014, Doyle began her apprenticeship at the Wiltshire yard of four-time British champion trainer, Richard Hannon Snr, and she rode out her claim in 2017. Doyle rode her 152nd winner of the year on 22 October, 2021, surpassing her own record for a British female jockey of wins through a calendar year after her 151 wins in 2020. She made a single-day record for a female jockey with five wins at Windsor Racecourse on 29 August, 2020. Doyle also secured her first Group race victory in the G2 Princess of Wales’s Stakes at Newmarket aboard Dame Malliot, and her first Royal Ascot success came with 33/1 chance Scarlet Dragon in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes in 2020. Her biggest success to date also came at Ascot in the 2020 British Champions Sprint Stakes atop Glen Shiel, who gave her a British Champions Day double after Trueshan had powered clear of his rivals in the G2 British Champions Long Distance Cup. Later that year she participated in the International Jockeys’ Championship for the first time, becoming the first female jockey to win leg of the contest, helping her to finish joint third with Alexis Badel in the event. She won a second International Jockeys’ Championship race in 2021 on her way to finishing joint-second in that year’s event. She won atop Trueshan in the 2021 Goodwood Cup and formed a strong alliance with Nashwa – winning a further two Group 1s aboard in 2022. The same partnership won the 2023 Falmouth Stakes. Hollie married Tom Marquand in 2022. In 2024, she won the Flying Five Stakes and Nunthorpe Stakes atop Bradsell. She rode her 1,000 winner in 2024 and rode her 1,000th British winner in 2025. Honours: First female jockey to ride five winners in one day (Windsor Racecourse, 29 August, 2020); Single season record for most winners ridden by a female jockey (172 in 2021). IJC record: 2024 – 2nd (DH); 2023 - 10th (DH); 2022 – 11th; 2021 – 2nd (DH); 2020 – 3rd (DH).
