Hollie Doyle became the winning-most female jockey in a calendar year in Britain when gaining her 107th success of 2019 on Class Clown at Southwell on Thursday.
Sky Sports Racing ambassador Doyle equalled Josephine Gordon’s tally of 106, which was achieved in 2017, at Wolverhampton on Saturday – and did not have to wait too long to overtake her friend and colleague, although she had agonisingly ridden three seconds on Wednesday.
Sent off the 4-1 favourite, Class Clown, trained by David Barron, took the Ladbrokes Where The Nation Plays Nursery Handicap by head following a thrilling battle.
