Hollie Doyle added to an already landmark year for women riders in horse racing by becoming the first female jockey to win the Goodwood Cup on Tuesday as part of an remarkable 123-1 treble.
The 24-year-old won aboard Trueshan, the 6-5 favourite following the withdrawal of Stradivarius from the two-mile race on the first day of Glorious Goodwood , one of the showpiece meetings of the English flat season, following heavy rain on the Sussex course.
Hollie Doyle was the queen of Goodwood as she followed up her Group One triumph by completing a fine hat-trick with additional successes aboard
Lord Riddiford and
Sisters In The Sky.
It was on the last-named colt that she cemented the feat, producing the 13-2 chance to lead approaching the distance in the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes and preserve a healthy lead to the line, scoring by a cosy but reduced length for trainer Roger Teal.
A jubilant Doyle said: “It’s been an amazing day and brilliant to win on this colt for Roger. He settled a lot better today, and after hitting a flat spot saw it out well. I just needed to give him one behind the saddle and he was away.”
