Figures from across the world of horse racing have rushed to pay tribute to Rachael Blackmore after the legendary Irish jockey announced her retirement on 12 May.
Blackmore, who became the first female jockey to win the Grand National in its 182-year history when she rode Minella Times in 2021, has called time on a glittering career that also included a Cheltenham Gold Cup win in 2022 and several other victories at Prestbury Park.
