James Doyle lands Classic double with Cachet’s victory in 1,000 Guineas
On Saturday morning, James Doyle was 18 years into his career in the saddle, much of it spent riding for the Godolphin operation, and still wondering if or when his first British Classic might arrive. By Sunday evening, he had two to his name, as a brave and impeccably-judged front-running ride on Cachet, at 16-1, saw George Boughey’s filly hold on by a neck to win the 1,000 Guineas from the 33-1 outsider Prosperous Voyage, with the well-backed Tuesday just under two lengths away in third.
