Grand National punters have gone Rachael Blackmore crazy after her big race mount Ain’t That A Shame was the subject of a “staggering” gamble which catapulted him into favouritism for the £1 million prize.
The star jockey, who became the first woman to ride the winner of the world famous race two years ago on Minella Times, rides Ain’t That A Shame for the same Henry de Bromhead stable.
Ain’t That A Shame was a 22-1 chance with William Hill when Blackmore was confirmed on the horse on Wednesday.
