Doyle celebrates appointment in style on Rizeena

Appointed retained jockey for Prince Khalid Abdullah this week, James Doyle celebrated in style when guiding the Clive Brittain-trained Rizeena to victory in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh yesterday.

Doyle celebrates appointment in style on Rizeena

Winner of the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot and runner-up to crack American colt No Nay Never in the Prix Morny in Deauville, Rizeena came through strongly in the final furlong to beat the favourite Kiyoshi and the unlucky, Aidan O’Brien-trained Tapestry in convincing style.

A Steward Enquiry into interference between the second and the third followed. Predictably the placings were reversed, with Tapestry promoted to second and Jamie Spencer, ride of Kiyoshi, was suspended for four days for careless riding.
