Rachael Blackmore "fed frozen meals" in horror detention ordeal in Australia

Rachael Blackmore has revealed she was fed poor frozen food as the iconic jockey was forced to spend a night in a dilapidated Australian building amid a worrying altercation with the law.

The Grand National-winning jockey - who became the first female to win the revered race in its 182-year history in 2021 - was placed in a centre surrounded by barbed wire after she ran into troubles concerning her visa. Blackmore declared she was served food that had not been properly defrosted.

Blackmore surged to fame after winning the 2021 Grand National aboard Minella Times, and her success on the track has ensured she is now worth around £3 million. The 33-year-old recently opened up about her nightmare experience Down Under, shedding light on the dramatic scenes.
