James Doyle, seconded to ride for Godolphin Australia following James McDonald's ban for a gambling infringement had a fantastic day at Randwick on Saturday riding four winners. Doyle has found the recent soaring temperatures the only drawback in Australia, he was recently stood down on medical grounds because of the heat, but that didn't halt his progress Saturday as he impressed onlookers with the quality of his riding. “A lot of the boys are up at the Magic Millions, so it's nice to get a couple of outside rides and collect on them,” Doyle said in typical self deprecating style. Two of Doyle's quartet of winners were for Godolphin and their chief Australian trainer John O'Shea told Racing And Sports, “I'm really excited for James. You can see his qualities as an outstanding world-class rider and he's showing his skills here today.”
