Hollie made a flying start to 2026, riding more than 50 winners and climbing to fifth in the Flat jockeys’ championship after a run of ten winners in 14 days. Along the way she celebrated her 70th winner in the famous gold and navy silks of Hambleton Racing.

Her season was interrupted when she broke her left leg in a fall at Bath, the most serious injury of her career. After surgery, Hollie worked tirelessly on her rehabilitation at the Injured Jockeys Fund’s Oaksey House in Lambourn.

Five months later she returned to the saddle in style, winning on her very first ride back aboard Oxford Circus for James Owen at Southwell. She heads to Hong Kong this winter for another spell riding at Sha Tin and Happy Valley.

2025 was a landmark year for Hollie. It began in February with a winner at Sha Tin on Billionaire Secret, after she answered a call from the Hong Kong Jockey Club to help fill a depleted roster. In March she rode her 1,000th British winner on Handle With Care at Lingfield. In April she struck in the Group 3 Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury on Archie Watson’s 33-1 shot Duty First.

In May she made history at Ascot, where victory on Brindavan gave her a 1,023rd British winner, passing Hayley Turner’s total to become the winning-most female jockey in British racing history. At Glorious Goodwood in July she won the Group 2 Lennox Stakes on Witness Stand. In November and December she took up her first full winter licence in Hong Kong, riding five winners in seven weeks. She finished the year with 98 winners.

2024 was a remarkable year for Hollie, highlighted by Bradsell’s return with two Group 1 victories, including the Nunthorpe Stakes at York and the Flying Five at The Curragh.

The season began on a high note with Folgaria’s victory in the Group 3 Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury in April, followed by Outbox claiming the Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket in May.

Trueshan also made a winning comeback, taking the Coral Marathon at Sandown in July.

August marked a milestone for Hollie as she reached 100 UK winners for the sixth successive season, and in early September she achieved a remarkable 1,000 winners worldwide aboard Leyhaimur at Goodwood!

Hollie ended her year with rides in Japan and Hong Kong, notably participating in the International Jockeys’ Championship and clinching victory in the 3rd Leg aboard Soleil Fighter.

2023 was another standout year for Hollie, headlined by a historic week at Royal Ascot and three more Group 1 victories.

The summer began in style in June, when Hollie won the Group 2 Italian Oaks in Milan aboard Shavasana.

Days later at Royal Ascot, Bradsell’s victory in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes made her the first woman to win a Group 1 at the Royal meeting. Further wins on Rhythm N Hooves in the Palace of Holyrood House Stakes and Saint Lawrence in the Wokingham Stakes secured her place in the record books as the first female jockey to ride three winners at Royal Ascot.

Just a week later, Hollie completed the remarkable achievement of riding a winner at every Flat racecourse in Britain, claiming the Carlisle Bell aboard Mostawaa.

Nashwa returned to her best in July, landing the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket for Imad Al Sagar and John & Thady Gosden. In August, Hollie was part of the winning Shergar Cup team and took home the Silver Saddle as the meeting’s leading rider.

Her old ally Trueshan provided more highlights in the autumn, returning from four months off the track to win the Group 2 Doncaster Cup before galloping to victory in the Group 1 Prix du Cadran at ParisLongchamp on Arc weekend.

Hollie ended the year riding in Japan, where her winners included Vibraphone in the Kanagawa Kinen at Kawasaki, before heading to Happy Valley to compete in the International Jockeys’ Championship.

2022 will always be remembered as the year Hollie became a Classic-winning jockey, with four Group 1 victories across Britain, France and Qatar.

The season got off to a flying start with Outbox’s victory in the HH Amir Trophy in Qatar for Archie Watson. At Royal Ascot, Bradsell announced himself as a star in the making by winning the Group 2 Coventry Stakes.

The highlight of the year came at Chantilly, where Nashwa won the Group 1 Prix de Diane. Hollie became the first female jockey to win a French Classic and the first British female jockey to win a European Classic. Nashwa followed up in style in the Group 1 Nassau Stakes at Goodwood for Imad Al Sagar and John & Thady Gosden.

Trueshan continued to thrill, defying a huge weight to win the Northumberland Plate before landing a third consecutive Long Distance Cup on British Champions Day. In between, Hollie added another Group 1 to her record when The Platinum Queen showed real grit to win the Prix de l’Abbaye at ParisLongchamp for Richard Fahey.



Hollie finished joint second in the Flat jockeys’ championship, the highest placing ever achieved by a woman. She then made history again as the first female jockey to be granted a short-term licence to ride in Japan by the JRA.

2021 was a record-breaking year, with Hollie riding more winners in Britain than any female jockey had ever ridden in a calendar year.

The year began with international success when she guided True Self to victory in the Neom Turf Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Back in Britain she rode five winners on one card at Kempton Park, and added a second Royal Ascot winner on Amtiyaz for John Gosden and Imad Al Sagar.

Trueshan gave Hollie her second Group 1 in the Goodwood Cup for Alan King, and later won the Long Distance Cup on British Champions Day for the second year running.



Hollie rode her 152nd winner of the year to pass her own record, and finished with 172 British winners, a record for a female jockey.

2020 was Hollie’s breakthrough season. She rode her first Royal Ascot winner on Scarlet Dragon, her first Group race winner on Dame Malliot at Newmarket, and became the first female jockey to ride five winners on one card in Britain, at Windsor.



Her finest day came on British Champions Day at Ascot. She became the first female jockey to ride a winner at the meeting, on Trueshan in the Long Distance Cup, and then won her first Group 1 on Glen Shiel in the British Champions Sprint.

Hollie finished the season with 151 winners and fourth place in the Flat jockeys’ championship, then the highest placing by a woman. She was named The Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year and finished third in BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

2019 was the year Hollie rode into the history books. She set a new record for winners ridden by a female jockey in a calendar year in Britain, and her 116 victories passed the previous record of 106 set by Josephine Gordon.

Hollie rode her first Pattern winner while still an apprentice with Richard Hannon, on Billesdon Bess in the Listed Upavon Fillies’ Stakes at Salisbury. She completed her apprenticeship that year to become a fully fledged professional jockey.

Hollie’s career began in winning style. Her first ride, at Salisbury on The Mongoose for trainer David Evans, was also her first winner.
