Hollie Doyle Makes History with 1,000 British Wins – A Triumph for Women in Horse Racing

Doyle’s achievements earned her Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year and a third-place finish in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award.

Future Ambitions

Doyle remains driven to push further, stating:

"I’m delighted to have got that done, it's another milestone, and hopefully there's another 1,000 under the bonnet somewhere."
