JOCKEY HOLLIE DOYLE INSPIRES FEMALE RIDERS | This Girl Can: Hong Kong Jockey Club's star equestrians

The Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Hong Kong International Races take place at Sha Tin annually in December with world renowned thoroughbreds gracing the HKIR honour roll. Familiar names such as Exultant, Ouija Board, Time Warp, Win Bright, Maurice, Mr Stunning, Lord Kanaloa, Able Friend, Beauty Generation and Sunline all feature. British female jockey and BBC SPOTY nominee Hollie Doyle spoke to the HKJC young apprentice riders during a trip to Happy Valley for the annual IJC competition.

Breaking her own record for the number of winners ridden by a British woman in a year, riding a historic double on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot, becoming the first woman to ride five winners on the same card and claiming a first victory at Royal Ascot, Doyle was also named Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year for 2020.

Enjoying her first ever Royal Ascot winner aboard Scarlet Dragon in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes, Doyle joined the roll of honour with Gay Kelleway and Hayley Turner as only the third woman to win at the meeting.

A first Group 1 winner on Glen Shiel came in the British Champions Sprint via a thrilling photo finish beating champion jockeys such as Ryan Moore, Oisin Murphy and William Buick, as well as taking the QIPCO Long Distance Cup on Trueshan.

Doyle also rode at the 2020 Breeders’ Cup World Championships in Keeneland, on hand to see Bob Baffert’s Authentic claim the Classic
