History beckons for NASHWA and Hollie Doyle in the Cazoo Oaks (4.30) at Epsom on Friday.
The first Classic horse race, the St Leger, was run at Doncaster in 1776 – and in the 246 years that have passed none of the five jewels in Flat racing’s crown has fallen to a woman jockey.
Doyle has become used to new ground and in Nashwa, trained in partnership by John Gosden and son Thady, she has the perfect partner to reach another milestone.
