Blackmore s Grand National win comes three weeks after she was the first woman to be leading jockey at the Cheltenham Festival
Rachael Blackmore made sporting history by becoming the first female jockey to win the Grand National with victory on Minella Times at Aintree.
The Irish rider scored a thrilling triumph aboard the 11-1 chance, trained by Henry de Bromhead who also saddled runner-up Balko Des Flos. I don t feel male or female right now. I don t even feel human, 31-year-old Blackmore told ITV.
Pembrokeshire jockey Sean Bowen PEMBROKESHIRE jockey Sean Bowen came in for a surprise Grand National ride on Give Me A Copper in the 2021 Randox Grand National, after Harry Cobden was stood down after an earlier fall. It was Bowen’s sixth ride in the National, having already completed Aintree s showpiece race three times - with his best finish coming in 2015 when he took 11th position on Mon Parrain. Cobden was taken to hospital for scans on his head and neck after a crunching fall from Lucky One in the earlier Grade One Mersey Novice’s Hurdle, but he was able to walk to the ambulance.
