Turner also enjoyed a victory aboard Onassis in the Sandringham Stakes last year, becoming the first multiple-winning woman rider at Royal Ascot. Doyle told Great British Racing: “It’s great to see that there have been a lot more women competing at Royal Ascot in recent years. I was inspired by Hayley and hope now I can inspire young people too.” Nicholls, daughter of 12-time champion jumps trainer Paul Nicholls said: “It’s great to have seen Hayley and Hollie enjoy success at Royal Ascot over the last two years and I hope that this inspires other young people to pursue a career in racing.
