What Hayley and Margot did next

HAYLEY Turner reinforced her position as one of the leading riders in the land after Margot Did swooped to conquer in the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes.

Not content by claiming an unprecedented outright first Group One victory for a British lady in the July Cup, the 28-year-old repeated the dose at York for her guv’nor, Michael Bell.

It has, especially this season, become a rather trite cliche to label Turner as the top female jockey in the country, when surely her prowess in the saddle must now deserve to rank alongside her male counterparts.
