Hollie Doyle Keen To Continue Spectacular 2020 In International Jockeys’ Championship

In her wildest dreams, Hollie Doyle could not have dared to hope for a more spectacular year after a season of staggering achievements, but the English rider hopes to crown a wondrous 2020 with more success in the LONGINES International Jockeys' Championship at Happy Valley in Hong Kong next Wednesday (Dec. 9).

Acclaimed as winner of The Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year award and shortlisted for the prestigious BBC sports personality of the year award, the 24-year-old has triumphed on an unprecedented scale in 2020.

Doyle bettered her own 2019 record for the most wins (116) amassed by a female rider during a calendar year in Great Britain and, as of Dec. 2, has posted 139 wins. Additionally, she also finished fourth in the 2020 British Flat Jockeys' Championship.

Noting the highest-ever placing by a woman, Frankie Dettori anointed Doyle as a future winner of the Championship after Doyle became the first woman to partner five winners on the same card at Windsor in August.

Doyle is part of a star-studded, six-jockey contingent from Europe to face the best of Hong Kong next week as she vies for the most lucrative jockeys' challenge winner's cheque in the world – a prize of HK$500,000 (about US$65,000).

Intriguingly, she will be pitted against her partner and fellow rising star Tom Marquand in an illustrious parade also containing Ryan Moore, a two-time winner of the LONGINES International Jockeys' Championship, William Buick and French duo Pierre-Charles Boudot and Mickael Barzalona.

“Tom and I are really looking forward to going to Hong Kong,” Doyle said. “It is a place we have always thought about going to and the opportunity has now arisen so we are excited about the prospect.

“It is a great opportunity to ride in Hong Kong at the end of a great year.

“This year has been crazy really for the both of us. It could not have gone much better. We are really grateful and pleased with the way it has gone. We are already looking forward to next year and it would be fantastic to have even more success.”

Doyle rates Champions Day at Ascot on Oct. 17 as “the best day of my career so far”, when she and Marquand combined to ride four of the six winners on the program, crowned by breakthrough G1 success aboard Glen Shiel in the QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes.

“To win my first G1 was very special on Glen Shiel,” she said. “It is special that it was also such a great day for Tom and I. You rarely both get success like that on a good day, but we were both absolutely delighted. It was quite simply a day I will never forget.

“Having five winners at Windsor was obviously another special day. To have a winner for my new retained owner Imad Al Sagar as part of the five-timer and plenty of rides for different trainers has been brilliant and it was another great day in what has been a fantastic season for me.

“I am just trying to keep everything rolling and I am just delighted with how things are going.”

Doyle, who sits alongside Formula 1 ace Lewis Hamilton, cricketer Stuart Broad and Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson on the BBC sports personality of the year shortlist, partially attributes her soaring success to her connection with trainer Archie Watson.

“I am in Archie Watson's (yard) quite often and I know the horses inside and out so I think that has been a big part in the success that we have had,” she said.

“I just hope next season to keep riding lots of winners and with that hopefully lots of quality will come too.

“The Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year award hasn't really sunk in yet but it was so special to win it. It was a huge honor to have won the award. Having seen some of the previous winners I feel quite honored, it was a huge privilege.”

Eager to make an impact in Hong Kong at the LONGINES International Jockeys' Championship, Doyle retains lofty – and patently attainable – objectives.

“I would love to win the Jockeys' Championship one day,” she said.

“I don't know whether that is going to be next year or in 10 years. I am constantly trying my hardest to achieve my best and it is obviously something I would love to do.

“Whether I land in that position or not is down to me having a bit of luck.”

Zac Purton, Joao Moreira, Karis Teetan, Vincent Ho, Alexis Badel and Neil Callan will represent the Hong Kong team at Happy Valley next Wednesday, Dec. 9.

Tom Marquand, Hollie Doyle Among Rising Stars Invited To International Jockeys’ Championship

A stellar line-up featuring established greats and young rising stars will contest the LONGINES International Jockeys' Championship (IJC) at Happy Valley Racecourse on Wednesday, Dec. 9.

The exciting line-up includes four previous winners of the world's most sought-after jockey challenge, including Zac Purton and Joao Moreira, both multiple champions on the world's most intensely competitive circuit. Purton and Moreira will both be chasing a second LONGINES IJC victory, as will last year's IJC victor and fellow Hong Kong-based rider Karis Teetan, while Ryan Moore returns to the spectacular city circuit seeking a record-equaling third IJC title.

The HK$800,000 (about US$100,000) LONGINES IJC is a four-race competition for 12 elite jockeys, and this year's edition features six overseas riders and six based in Hong Kong, all battling for the HK$500,000 (about US$65,000) top prize, the most lucrative jockeys' challenge winner's check in the world.

Also among the exciting overseas cast are Tom Marquand and Hollie Doyle. The British duo, aged 22 and 24 respectively, sealed third and fourth place in the 2020 British Flat Racing Jockeys Championship, and will join the contest for the first time as two of world racing's most rapidly ascending stars.

Marquand's G1-winning exploits in Europe and Australia over the last 12 months have seen him become one of the most in-demand young riders on the planet. His major wins include a G1 QIPCO Champion Stakes success aboard globetrotting star Addeybb at Ascot, as well as back-to-back G1 triumphs aboard that horse in Australia.

Doyle, meanwhile, following a spectacular British season, will become only the third female rider – after Emma-Jayne Wilson in 2007 and Chantal Sutherland in 2009 – to take part in the IJC.   Her total of 129 (as at 18 November) wins for the calendar year is a record for a female rider in Britain, while her headline-grabbing double on Champions Day at Ascot included a first G1 victory aboard Glen Shiel in the British Champions Sprint Stakes.

Leading homegrown rider Vincent Ho will join Moreira, Purton and Teetan representing Hong Kong. The 30-year-old ace enjoyed a personal best season last term with 67 wins, including a clean sweep of the Four-Year-Old Classic Series aboard the brilliant Golden Sixty. He also notched a first G1 success as Southern Legend edged Beauty Generation in a thrilling edition of the FWD Champions Mile.

Last year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winning jockey Pierre-Charles Boudot heads back to Hong Kong in outstanding form. He is poised to complete his third French championship and is buoyant from two more G1 successes at the recent Breeders' Cup in Kentucky.

Godolphin's leading man William Buick is another who is riding at the top of his game and will arrive in Hong Kong at the end of a year highlighted by three G1 successes aboard the world's highest rated horse Ghaiyyath, while Mickael Barzalona became one of the youngest riders ever to win the Derby when Pour Moi won at Epsom in 2011 and added another Classic success to his record this year when Andre Fabre's Victor Ludorum won the French 2000 Guineas.

The final two spots on the 12-rider roster for the LONGINES International Jockeys' Championship will be filled by the next two jockeys – who are eligible for selection – with the most wins on the Hong Kong jockeys' championship table. This announcement will be made following the Happy Valley race meeting on Wednesday, 25 November.

Visiting riders will undergo multiple COVID-19 tests before travelling to Hong Kong and upon arrival will go straight into their designated accommodation under strict quarantine to ensure no contact with the community. They will also be under continuous medical surveillance by the Club's Chief Medical Officer – including daily COVID-19 tests and twice daily temperature checks – and on IJC night at Happy Valley, the visiting riders will occupy a separate jockeys' rooms away from the Hong Kong-based riders.

Mr. Andrew Harding, the Hong Kong Jockey Club's Executive Director, Racing, said: “This year's LONGINES International Jockeys' Championship has all the factors in place to be a classic edition. We have a fantastic line-up of gifted riders, and a young duo in Tom Marquand and Hollie Doyle competing for the first time will add even greater excitement to what is always a thrilling contest.

“The Hong Kong Jockey Club has succeeded again in putting together an outstanding cast of riders and we are looking forward to a great night of sport set against the backdrop of one of the most iconic racecourses in the world.”

“We are so pleased that, with strict protocols in place, the event can be a truly international occasion. The prize money increases, which make this year's edition the richest yet, further reinforcing the prestige associated with the event.”

Further prize money increases and incentives 

The LONGINES IJC remains the most prestigious jockey challenge in the world and the most lucrative for the winning rider.

The four races are worth a combined HK$6 million in prize money, which represents a 20 percent increase for the designated races. Meanwhile, a total prize fund of HK$800,000 in bonus money for the most successful riders will be split three ways, with the winner set to receive HK$500,000 and second and third HK$200,000 and HK$100,000 respectively.

In addition, trainers have an added incentive to target their horses at IJC races this year thanks to a new bonus scheme which will pay HK$200,000, HK$100,000 and HK$50,000 respectively to the three handlers who achieve the highest number of points across the four races, using the same scale as employed for the jockeys.

The four-race competition works on a points-based system with 12 points for a winner, six points for second place and four points for a third. The ranking of each jockey will be determined by the total number of points earned over all four races and the IJC champion will be the jockey with the highest accumulated points.

The Club has developed a new model to increase the probability of a more even distribution of winning chances.

Rides in previous IJC competitions have been allocated by a random ballot taking each jockey's minimum riding weight into account. However, this year's edition will feature a new process of allocating rides with a model having been developed which is designed to make the contest as competitive as possible and to reduce the risk of individual riders, being dealt a particularly strong or weak hand.

The minimum riding weight for IJC races remains at 116lb with a maximum of 2lb overweight allowed. If there are more than 12 entries for a race, the Club's handicappers will use their discretion to give preference to horses who have shown reasonable recent form. This will form the basis for a process in which each rider will be allocated four rides based on an estimated average of each horse's chance as supplied by the Club's Jockey Challenge odds-compiling team.

The odds-compiling team will assess the credentials of every runner in advance and, without knowing who will ride each horse, will submit their final assessments once the barrier draw is made on the morning of Monday, 7 December.

In the case of a dead-heat for any of the first three placings, points will be added and then divided by the number of horses involved. In the IJC, substitute jockeys are eligible for points and if a countback is required it will go back to fourth place. Homegrown jockeys with 2lb or 3lb claims are eligible for selection for the IJC but there will be no claiming allowance in the four IJC races. Apprentice jockeys do not qualify for selection.

Addeybb Proves Too Good In QIPCO Champion Stakes

It rounded off a remarkable day for jockey power-couple Hollie Doyle and Tom Marquand who combined for 3 victories during Britain's richest race day.

It's been a memorable season for Marqaund and Addeybb who dominated down under throughout the winter as the duo claimed Group 1 victories in Australia. However, his main targets were always going to be during the Autumn as the Haggis team aimed him at his preferred soft ground and that paid off as Addeybb came home in front in this year's QIPCO Champion Stakes

During the race, it was Derby hero Serpentine who took up the running as expected. The eventual winner Addeybb sat just of the Classic winner in his favored position towards the front of the field. Favorite Magical settled in mid-division with Frankie Dettori with second-choice Mishriff just one off the rail.

The places didn't alter throughout the early stages with most content on holding position. As the pace began to quicken it was James Doyle and Lord North who made the first move as the duo began to make a move around the outside. The rest responded as Mishriff picked up the bridle and Skaletti continued to run on alongside the rail. Ryan Moore asked plenty of Magical but she was caught ever so slightly flat footed and couldn't quite pick up the leaders.

Into the final stages Addeybb continued to thunder on, ploughing his way through the softer ground as Sklatetti failed to really throw down a challenge.

Tom Marqaund only won his first Group 1 just a month ago in the St Leger but this performance will be right up there with his best of the season. A hugely satisfying win for the young jockey on the biggest stage of all and a wonderful victory for all connections.

Addeybb went one better in the 2020 G1 QIPCO Champion Stakes, putting up an authoritative display to take the 10-furlong showpiece. The 6-year-old had finished the three-quarter length runner-up to Magical 12 months ago.

Tom Marquand was the winning rider and is the boyfriend of Hollie Doyle, who rode the first two winners today.

A six-year-old son of Pivotal trained by William Haggas, Addeybb was always in a prominent position and travelled well throughout. Taking a clear advantage quarter of a mile from home, Addeybb was never in trouble thereafter and held off the challenge of Skalleti to win by a comfortable two and a quarter lengths.

Last year's winner Magical, the 15/8 favourite, did not seem to be going particularly well before making good late progress to take third, a further half a length back.

William Haggas said: “Addeybb is a marvellous horse. He was really up for it today. He is fantastic and I am absolutely thrilled for everyone.

“He didn't mind [the draw, 11]. He was in a great position and he stays. He is tough, he loves the ground and loves it here.

“He has been absolutely fantastic. Since he won the Wolferton last year and we put the cheek-pieces on, he has just been so consistent. He was really on it today. He looked fantastic beforehand, we thought, but he was grumpy and difficult to saddle, which is a good sign for him. He has such a marvellous nature and this is tailor-made for him. We all know that he loves this ground.

“The filly [Verry Elleegant] that he beat in both his G1 races in Australia won the Caulfield Cup today, beating Anthony Van Dyck, so they were smart performances, but he had never won a G1 in England. He had been second a few times, so that for us is the great joy – we have finally won a championship race with such a good horse.

“It has been quite interesting. I said after six-year-old One Master won the Foret for a third time that, if you can keep them happy, sound and not abuse them when they are young, they will reward you when they are older. This is exactly what he has done. Look at today – the QEII winner is five, the sprint winner is six – if they are sound, healthy and keep their enthusiasm, which he has done, then they can enjoy life. I think that was his best ever performance at the age of six.

“He is great at home and Safid, who rides him every day, said this morning that he would win and that he was really on form. I have been not very well for a bit and then have been at the sales when I have been better, so I have hardly seen him. I have seen him at first lot but that is it really, so all credit to my team at home and to Safid in particular, who dotes on this horse. I think he is looking for another couple of months in Australia next spring!

“I have no idea yet [on going back to Australia] because there are horses from Europe in Melbourne and they had 11,000 people at the races in Sydney today. If we can get there, we will obviously consider it. We also might consider Saudi Arabia as well, which is dirt but that dirt track is terrific. I was there last year and I thought it was terrific and possibly worth a short. We shall see and we are going to enjoy this day very much.

“Addeybb is a special horse for us and has done lots of things that we can only dream of.

“The first time he wore cheekpieces in the Wolferton last year he put up a pretty smart performance, and ever since then he's either been first or second in top company.

“He likes the ground and he goes well fresh. It seems a bit ridiculous taking him to Ayr to run in a Listed race, but actually it was a nice thing for him – Arc weekend was too close to this at two weeks – and it gave him a month in between. He loves it fresh and we try to keep him fresh, and he was fresh going into Australia.

“We always hoped he had it in him. I personally couldn't see Magical being beaten, because I thought she beat us comprehensively last year, not by very far, and I was frightened that the ground had dried a bit too much today. But it's pretty horrible and he loves it when it's horrible. He is at his best when there's a ground inspection in the morning and it passes. He is pretty versatile, but he's deadly on this ground.

“If you watched him all the way round, he was in the perfect position and never looked like being beaten.

“Tom [Marquand]'s a young guy who has a girlfriend kicking him up the backside every day, but he's a very personable, strong rider with a big future. I have no doubt he will be champion one day. They need to be riding on days like this, and he's got there very young, but he has a great future ahead of him.”

Tom Marquand said: “Honestly what a credit to Safid [Alam], William and Maureen and the whole team at home. He has gone to Australia, conquered down under and now he's come back up, he deserved that Group One up here so much because all he's done is knock on the door, show he's a champion and he's never got his real swansong today, but today's he's got it.

“He travelled like a true good horse throughout the race and to be honest when I started getting going, I just bombed the straight. It is remarkable, I've never ridden a horse like him. He goes over ground that's as bad as you can get and he makes it feel like you are on quick ground. That is why he's so good on it.

“It is just incredible. He has shown that he is top-class in Australia, winning two G1s, and Verry Elleegant went and beat our Derby winner from last year Anthony Van Dyck this morning, who Addeybb beat in the Ranvet and QEII. He has come here today and has torn the field apart, beating the likes of Magical. You have to be a champion to do that.

“Genuinely, the draw was the primary and only concern that I had about the race. It can be a pretty tricky start coming down to that sharp bend straight away and to settle into the race is the main concern. Again, in the straight, he is so powerful through the line and just trucks on as if the ground is not an issue, which is phenomenal.”

Referring to girlfriend Hollie Doyle, Marquand said: “I'm so, so proud of her.

“All she does is get up every day and graft, and to ride her first G1 for Archie Watson is brilliant because he's played such a big part, but also for Alan King because he's played a big part for both of us in the last few years. Our first Royal Ascot winners were for him and he's had a cracking year. There is no one, genuinely no one, who deserves it more.”

Pivotal’s Addeybb On Top In the Champion

All day long at Ascot, it was a case of deep-ground lovers need only apply and one who certainly fit that category was Addeybb (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) and he duly carried off the feature G1 QIPCO Champion S. Going through the conditions with an ease his rivals could not match, last year’s runner-up finally registered a first top-level success in his native country having annexed the G1 Ranvet S. and G1 Queen Elizabeth S. during a Spring campaign in Australia. Well-positioned in second by Tom Marquand throughout the early stages, Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum’s 9-1 shot was committed two from home and saw off Skalleti (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) to score by 2 1/4 lengths, with the 15-8 favourite Magical (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) battling into third, half a length away. On a day when his partner Hollie Doyle made the headlines, Marquand was grabbing his own share but was quick to heap praise elsewhere. “What a credit to Safid [Alam], William and Maureen and the whole team at home. He’s gone to Australia, he conquered down under and now he’s come back up and he deserved that group one so much,” he said. “All he’s done is knock on the door, show he’s a champion and he’s never got his real swansong but today’s he’s got it.”

It has been a long voyage to star of the show at this prestigious meeting for Addeybb, who at one point in his career was labelled unlucky for failing to get his favoured easy conditions on several occasions. Kept in training and carefully nurtured by William Haggas, he proved that if you hang around long enough you can have things fall into place and they did this time with the track unraceable a fortnight ago. During the summer, the veteran had been rested but had shown enough when defying a seven-pound penalty in the Listed Doonside Cup on his return over this trip at Ayr Sept. 19 to confirm that he was very much a player here. Twelve months ago, the ground had not been bad enough for him to get past Magical but on this occasion he had first run on the mare who clearly struggled in the conditions.

With the sluggish-starting G1 Epsom Derby hero Serpentine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) soon rousted along to take the lead, the widest-drawn Addeybb was granted a perfect lead with the July 5 G1 Prix du Jockey Club hero Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) too fresh in behind. “PCB” had Skalleti positioned alongside that Gosden runner after Ryan Moore had worked to get last year’s heroine into a challenging position in fifth. Turning for home, Tom Marquand had threats on either side but as soon as he pushed the button at the two-furlong pole the contest was decided with only the similarly ground-dependant Skalleti and the race’s class act Magical able to give meaningful pursuit. “He travelled like a true good horse throughout the race and to be honest when I started getting going, I just bombed the straight,” Marquand explained. “It’s remarkable, I’ve never ridden a horse like him. He goes over ground that’s as bad as you can get and he makes it feel like you are on quick ground. That’s why he’s so good on it.”

Addeybb, who first came to prominence when beating fellow social climber Lord Glitters (Fr) (Whipper) in the Lincoln H. over Doncaster’s straight mile in March 2018, looked to be going places fast when adding the following month’s G2 Sandown Mile to his tally. Denied a fair crack at this level due to drying ground thereafter, it was not until June 2019 that he enjoyed another slice of fortune when taking a competitive renewal of the course-and-distance Listed Wolferton S. at the Royal meeting. Winning the G3 Rose of Lancaster S. on heavy ground at Haydock before beating all bar Magical in this, the bay went to Australia and connections were rewarded for their enterprise as he gave four pounds to Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ})–since the winner of three group 1 races including Saturday’s Caulfield Cup–in both Rosehill’s Ranvet Mar. 21 and the Queen Elizabeth at Randwick Apr. 11. On the latter occasion, when the ground had deepened, he put 2 3/4 lengths between himself and that filly but it was officially “good” as he trailed Lord North (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) when second in the June 17 G1 Prince of Wales’s S.

William Haggas said, “He has been absolutely fantastic. Since he won the Wolferton last year and we put the cheek-pieces on, he has just been so consistent. He was really on it today. He looked fantastic beforehand, we thought, but he was grumpy and difficult to saddle, which is a good sign for him. He has got such a marvellous nature and this is tailor-made for him. We all know that he loves this ground. We have finally won a championship race with such a good horse.”
Pondering the winner’s journey, he added, “I said after six-year-old One Master won the Foret for a third time that, if you can keep them happy, sound and not abuse them when they are young they will reward you when they are older. This is exactly what he has done. Look at today–the first winner was six, the second winner was six–if they are sound, healthy and keep their enthusiasm, which he has done, then they can enjoy life. I think that was his best ever performance at the age of six.”

“He is great at home and Safid, who rides him every day, said this morning that he would win and that he was really on form. I have been not very well for a bit and then have been at the sales when I have been better, so I have hardly seen him. I have seen him at first lot but that is it really, so all credit to my team at home and to Safid in particular, who dotes on this horse. I think he is looking for another couple of months in Australia next spring! If we can get back there, we will obviously consider it. We also might consider Saudi Arabia as well, which is dirt but that dirt track is terrific and possibly worth a short.”

Addeybb’s dam Bush Cat (Kingmambo) also produced the GIII Generous S. third Meer Kat (Ire) (Red Ransom) and is a daughter of the Listed Schwarzwald-Rennen winner and G3 Royal Whip S. third Arbusha (Danzig). Dam of Mercer Mill’s stakes winners Busha and Rip N’ Run, she is a full-sister to the G2 Goldene Peitsche hero Nicholas and the dam of the G1 Irish St Leger and G1 Gran Premio di Milano hero Strategic Choice (Alleged). Descended from the dam line of the US Fillies’ Triple Crown heroine Shuvee (Nashua), Bush Cat’s yearling filly is by Dream Ahead.
