Rachael Blackmore has confessed that mealtime during next week’s Cheltenham Festival will include a surprise order of Dominos.
The history-making jockey, the first female rider to win the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup, will bid to repeat last year’s success on A Plus Tard next Friday.
Blackmore, the BBC World Sports Personality of the Year in 2021 after a season which included a first victory in the Grand National, will also ride two-time Champion Hurdle winner Honeysuckle in what could be her final race in the Close Brothers’ Mares’ Hurdle.
