Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle celebrated her fifth Group One success at Goodwood on Thursday as Nashwa landed the Nassau Stakes.
Doyle, who is the first female rider to win the Nassau Stakes, celebrated her first Classic success on the John and Thady Gosden-trained filly in June this year.
Giving her mount a more patient ride than her Chantilly success, Doyle settled 5/6 favourite Nashwa at the rear of the eight-runner field – Ville De Grace was withdrawn at the start – keeping a close eye on her rivals ahead as Dreamloper took them along.
Andrea Atzeni, on Fonteyn, came to join Dreamloper up front but focus soon switched to Doyle and Nashwa as the pair made a striking move down the outside.
Richard Hannon’s 40/1 shot Aristia delivered her challenge, with a late charge also from Doyle’s husband Tom Marquand on Lilac Road, but Nashwa proved a class above to stretch away by a length and three-quarters.
