Hollie Doyle praised Hayley Turner after surpassing her former weighing-room colleague as the winningest female jockey in Britain following her 1,023rd victory on Brindavan at Ascot Racecourse May 10. Doyle, 28, passed 100 winners for the first time in 2019 and reached 1,000 domestic winners in March. She ended that 2019 campaign with 116 winners, passing the previous 100-winner benchmark set in 2008 by Turner, who retired in April alongside announcing she was pregnant.

Frustration turned to elation when One For Harvey gained her first victory in the 5f three-year-old handicap. Placed in four of her eight previous starts, One For Harvey could never quite get the job done. This time things changed, as she was fired straight from her wide draw by jockey Fred Larson and won going away by a length and a quarter.

For a young jockey making his way in the sport, Harry Davies has caused quite a stir in the historic Chester Cup. The record books show that you need an experienced rider to successfully negotiate one of the most tactical races of the season, but Davies ripped up the manual last year, and here at a sunbaked Chester he became the first jockey in 20 years to win the £170,000 marathon back-to-back on East India Dock.

John and Thady Gosden have moved to a ‘best rider available’ policy meaning Kieran Shoemark will no longer be the first-choice jockey for some of the yard’s most high-profile horses. A number of the Gosdens’ owners have retained riders already: Godolphin (William Buick), Shadwell (Jim Crowley), Wathnan Racing (James Doyle), Qatar Racing (Oisin Murphy) and Imad Al Sagar (Hollie Doyle). However, the loosening of Shoemark’s grip as main rider will allow more opportunities for other jockeys.

It wasn't beach weather on the Rowley Mile but Cinderella's Dream took the first step on a return trip to 'where the turf meets the surf' when landing the Group 2 Dahlia Stakes in commanding fashion. The daughter of Shamardal had her work companion Beautiful Love to aim at as she sat last of the five runners before moving into contention passing the Bushes under William Buick and going clear to leave last year's 1,000 Guineas winner Elmalka in her wake.

Talk in the build up to the Betfred 1,000 Guineas might have been about the infallibility of Desert Flower, but trainer Ollie Sangster made sure to give Godolphin a fright. Two furlongs out, Flight, a 28-1 outsider, narrowly led the fillies’ Classic in the smaller stands’ side group and appeared to be going better than Desert Flower. It was only on the climb out of the Dip up to the winning line that the favourite was able to reassert and take victory.
