Winning jockey @rachaelblackmor “Patricks Park was fantastic and it was great to get an opportunity to get to ride for Willie (Mullins). We went a hell of a gallop so he was a little on his head at the start, but his jumping kept him in it and he was fantastic in that sense”

Once you have gained the trust of a horse, you’ve gained a friend for life.

“You need to work on fitness, nutrition, have a positive mindset and be resilient.” Aine O’Connor, Jockey.
Did you know accomplished amateur rider
is now working at RACE? Read all about it in The Irish Field this weekend.
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.”
