Hayley Turner's amazing career from historic wins to bet ban, retirement U-turn and now shot at £25k Racing League win

Hayley Turner is the first female jockey to ride 100 winners in a calendar year in 2008. She was banned for three months in 2015 for placing bets while still having an active licence. Turner came out of retirement at the end of the ban and became the the only female rider for 32 years to win a race at Royal Ascot. She is also popular with her rivals. Her career has not always been easy.

Turner was in the saddle at an early age thanks to her riding instructor mother. She took up a position as an apprentice with Michael Bell in Newmarket. Turner's first professional ride was on Markellis for trainer Declan Carrol in March 2000. Marckles broke her leg on the back straight. Two months later Turner rode her first winner under rules.

Turner has set a trailblazing path for other female riders. Hollie Doyle, Nicola Currie, Josephine Gordon, Saffie Osbourne and Laura Pearson have all emerged in her wake.
