Rachael Blackmore is hungry for more as the record-breaking rider bids to once again light up Prestbury Park at this year’s Cheltenham Festival.
The 33-year-old is firmly established as one of the sport’s leading National Hunt jockeys, while her reputation has catapulted thanks in no small part to her achievements at the sport’s showpiece meeting in each of the past two seasons.
In 2021 Blackmore was the star attraction at a Festival that had to be run behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic, not only becoming the first female jockey to win the Champion Hurdle aboard the brilliant mare Honeysuckle but also picking up the Festival’s leading rider award with six winners.
