Oisin Murphy Replaces Hollie Doyle As Retained Rider For Imad Al Sagar

[Wandering Eyes]

Hollie Doyle's tenure as retained rider for Imad Al Sagar's Blue Diamond Stud has ended. Champion jockey Oisin Murphy will become the new first-call rider for the operation.

The best runner ridden by Doyle in the Al Sagar silks was undoubtedly the G1 Prix de Diane-winning Nashwa (Frankel), who also landed top-flight scores in the Nassau Stakes and Falmouth Stakes with Doyle aboard.

Said Al Sagar's racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe, “We're keen to stress that we have had a fantastic relationship with Hollie throughout, and we hope that will continue for many years to come in different forms.

“There are, however, moments when it is time for a change and Imad felt this was the right time to move on. We will now use Oisin, when available, in the absence of Hollie.”
