Vote for Rachael Blackmore – turn professional just over two years ago & she has really reaped the rewards for that decision. She became the first female to ever be crowned Irish Champion Conditional Rider in the 2016-2017 NH Season.

Rachael Blackmore asked on @BBCBreakfast why Irish horses did so well at Cheltenham replied ” We were better”

Rachael Blackmore said her Cheltenham Festival had been “phenomenal” after becoming the first woman to be the leading jockey at the meeting.

The Irish rider had six wins, more than the entire British training contingent.

Blackmore, 31, was the first female jockey to win the Champion Hurdle, with Honeysuckle, and was second on A Plus Tard in the Gold Cup, which was won by Minella Indo.

“I can’t even comprehend being leading jockey – it’s crazy stuff,” she said.

“It’s phenomenal. It’s been brilliant. Henry de Bromhead is an incredible trainer. I’m just part of that team and getting on those horses.”
