MoreHayley Turner OBE is a professional jockey.
Turner is considered to be the first woman to achieve a sustained, day-in, day-out, successful career as a professional jockey in the UK. Hayley Turner's success has seen an enormous increase in the number of female apprentice jockeys riding in the UK in the second decade of the 21st century.
She became the first woman to ride 100 UK Flat race winners during a calendar year, when winning on 'Mullitovermaurice' at Wolverhampton on 30 December 2008. In that year Turner rode in over 900 races in the UK - one of only five riders to achieve the milestone that year.
On 31 August 2015 Turner announced that she would retire from riding at the end of the season. She came out of retirement in 2018.
In between she was a regular contributor to ITV racing.
