Rachael Blackmore is really looking forward to being reunited with A Plus Tard in their bid for back-to-back victories in the Betfair Chase at Haydock on Saturday.
The Cheveley Park Stud-owned eight-year-old has already provided Blackmore with some of her biggest days in the saddle, kicking off with her first Cheltenham Festival success three years ago.
Since then the pair have combined for three Grade One victories, including a 22-length triumph on Merseyside 12 months ago and a similarly breathtaking display in the Cheltenham Gold Cup as Blackmore became the first female jockey to claim National Hunt racing’s most prestigious prize.
