Hollie Doyle’s Big Race Wins
Hollie Doyle’s first Royal Ascot winner came in 2019 when she produced 33-1 outsider Scarlet Dragon with a late flourish in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes.
She rode her first Group race winner aboard Dame Malliot in the Princess of Wales’s Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse the following year.
She was also appointed retained jockey for owner Imad Alsagar, riding Extra Elusive to Group 3 race success in his colours.
Her first Group 1 victory came in October 2020 when she rode Glen Shiel to victory in the British Champions Sprint at Ascot.
She also rode Trueshan to victory in the Group 2 British Champions Long Distance Cup on the same card.

Hollie Doyle’s – Most Famous Victories
Hollie Doyle was quick to strike up a fine partnership with Archie Watson’s sprinter Glen Shiel. Originally tried over a mile and further, the horse began to reveal his true potential when making all the running to win a Newcastle handicap over six furlongs in June 2020. He followed that up with a fine second in a Group 3 at Deauville.
Doyle rode him to finish second at 25-1 behind Dream Of Dreams in the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup in September. He was still overlooked by most punters when she provided her first success at the highest level in the British Champions Sprint the following month. Starting at 16-1, he led early, surrendered the advantage at the furlong pole but was driven back up to beat Brando by a nose.
Doyle had already won the opening British Champions Long Distance Cup aboard Alan King’s Trueshan. Her hopes of a treble were dashed when Dame Malliot was beaten by Wonderful Tonight in the Champion Fillies and Mares. It was a day to remember for Hollie and she has not looked back.
