Hollie Doyle

Tom was the one who went past her for third place - although he rode an awful race earlier on, don't know what he was doing with his.

Weird race.

I napped Ithra in the naps comp so I'm a bit disappointed myself but no complaints with the ride because, as tends to be the case with the stable's runners, she was ridden forward, it looked like they got racing soon enough turning for home, and they've been comfortably picked off by two who were ridden more patiently.

As for "clearly dropped her hands", well the head-on clearly showed the first and second were converging on her inside the final furlong and Hollie had to ease off to avoid being caught on heels on her weakening filly.

OK - thanks for that.  Her first bout of trouble was unavoidable but she somehow got unlucky another twice.
Unlike her.  She usually has her horses perfectly placed.

not been riding well this winter imo chelmsford there another example

Can't see what she did wrong there.Well clear
of the 3rd.

chased a meatball thinking that's all she had to beat also a bad move aiming for a dead rail turning in

that's v well hcapped that watson horse that's why

Losing her appetite ......

Obvious the op doesn’t really like female characters……imo

Jan 2020 - today  607 winners from 4122 rides 15%
Jan 2024 - today   17 winners from  154 rides 11%

shes about 6 winners below her strike rate so far this year, compared to the last 5 years.

On those 154 rides this year, you would be 90 points down to a 1 point stake if backing. Quids in if laying.
