Hollie Doyle enjoyed incredible success in 2020
No rider made more headlines or achieved more âfirstsâ in 2020 than Hollie Doyle, who picked up three prestigious Lester awards after enjoying a first Group race win, a first Group 1 win, and a first prestigious retainer, not to mention taking third place at the BBCâs Sports Personality of the Year awards ceremony and riding a five-timer at Windsor.
Doyleâs recent rise through the ranks has been nothing short of phenomenal and she is unrecognisable now from the rider who took five years to shed her apprentice claim. As physically strong arguably as any Flat jockey of either sex, and just as effective these days on turf as on the all-weather, she could well be crowned racingâs first woman champion on October 16. If sheâs not, it wonât be for the want of trying.
They took the first upsides at breakneck speed and it continued thereafter.
Allaho led marginally over the second under Blackmore, then Chacun Poir Soi took the third and fourth in front as Townend switched his mount outside. It was like watching two flyweight boxers exchange a flurry of early punches.
As Allaho began to feel the pinch on his first start at the minimum trip over fences, First Flow was then squeezed on to Chacun Pour Soi’s shoulder, with Nube Negra watching them all they way on the inner under Harry Skelton. One thing is for sure, there would be no freebies here.

With no Appreciate It, I d say Paul Townend has gone for Blue Lord because he finished second to Bob Olinger and was going to finish second to Appreciate It at Cheltenham when he fell at the last. They re the two outstanding novices.
He s gone for Blue Lord probably on that basis, but Echoes In Rain was incredibly impressive at Fairyhouse where Paul rode her but he still opts for Blue Lord.
