Grand National trailblazer Blackmore calls time on incredible career

- Michael HENNESSY

TIMES UP FOR RACHAEL

PATRICK Mullins led the tributes to Rachael Blackmore after the Tipperary jockey announced her retirement yesterday.

The 35-year-old made international headlines in 2021 when she steered Minella Times to win the Grand National — the first woman to do so in the then 182-year history of the race.

Blackmore said: “My days of being a jockey have come to an end. I feel the time is right.”

Privilege

2025 Grand National winning-jockey Mullins shared a house with Blackmore and her partner Brian Hayes for many years and said it was a “privilege” to see her career develop as it did.
