Predicting Rachael Blackmore’s Rides in Big Races
Rachael Blackmore is now very much a go-to jockey for National Hunt’s biggest and most famous races of the season. Below, our experts will attempt to make educated guesses on which horses Rachael Blackmore will ride in the big festivals throughout the season, and all of the updated ante-post prices for the selected horses will be available.
It can sometimes be wise to take a generous ante-post price on Rachael Blackmore’s rides, as horses with her assistance can be well backed on betting apps closer to the day of the race meaning that their prices will be considerably shortened come post time.

Who will Rachael Blackmore ride in the Grand National?
In 2021, Rachael Blackmore made history by becoming the first female jockey to win the prestigious Aintree Grand National. Blackmore was on board the Henry de Bromhead-trained Minella Times for that historic performance, and the likelihood is that the partnership will be continued in this season’s race. The pair were unlucky to be brought down in last season’s contest, so connections will be hoping for an upturn in fortunes as they attempt to reclaim their title in 2023 and will likely be fancied at betting sitesin the UK and Ireland.
Who will Rachael Blackmore ride in the Champion Hurdle?
Rachael Blackmore has won the last two renewals of Cheltenham’s Champion Hurdle, having struck up a so-far unbeatable partnership with another Queen of racing, Honeysuckle. Henry de Bromhead’s star mare is unbeaten in 16 racecourse starts, and Rachael Blackmore has been on board for every one of those successes. The pair are sure to renew their partnership for a tilt at a Champion Hurdle hat-trick this season.
Who will Rachael Blackmore ride in the Champion Chase?
The Champion Chase is one of Cheltenham’s major races that has so far eluded Rachael Blackmore. The 2021 festival’s leading jockey partnered Envoi Allen to finish third last season, and there is a chance the pair could take on the two-mile chase again this season. A more likely ride for Blackmore in the race may be stablemate, Bob Olinger, although last season’s Turners Novices’ Chase winner is entered in a few different races and may not line up in the Champion Chase. Keep an eye out for the latest Cheltenham news with Bookmakers.

Who will Rachael Blackmore ride in the Gold Cup?
The winning performance of A Plus Tard and Rachael Blackmore in last season’s Cheltenham Gold Cup was arguably the most visually impressive performance of the week, and it would be a huge surprise if the pair were not to attempt to defend their crown this season. A Plus Tard is the new equine superstar of National Hunt racing, so, he and Rachael Blackmore could not be a more suited combination to bet on at top betting sites.
Who will Rachael Blackmore ride in the King George?
It is a little bit tougher to predict who Rachael Blackmore may ride in this season’s King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. The reason being that there is no guarantee the aforementioned A Plus Tard will show up for the renowned Kempton contest.
If he does, Blackmore is likely to partner the Gold Cup winner, and if not, stablemate Bob Olinger is another option if connections decide to tackle the three-mile trip once again.

Rachel Blackmore Biography
Rachael Blackmore is one of the most famous female sports stars on the planet right now. The top jockey has shattered the glass ceiling for female riders with her exploits in the past few years and continues to inspire a new generation of riders, both male and female, hoping to follow in her footsteps.
Blackmore was born in Killenaule, Co. Tipperary, Ireland, and took her first tentative steps towards becoming the most successful female National Hunt jockey when riding a horse for the first time at the tender age of two. Despite her family having no real horse background, Rachael continued her love affair with horses through her early life.
After a stint in pony racing, Blackmore began her career as an amateur jockey and enjoyed some success thanks mainly to the support of trainer Shark Hanlon, who had taken her under his wing. In fact, it was Hanlon who provided Blackmore with her first win as an amateur in February 2011, and it was he who suggested that the young jockey had the quality to turn professional.
In March 2015, Blackmore would do just that, having finished her amateur stint with 11 point-to-point winners in Ireland, and seven winners on the track. Hanlon again provided Blackmore with her first win as a pro, and in 2017 she recorded the first of many historical achievements when becoming the first female rider to win the Irish conditional riders’ championship.
In 2019, Rachael Blackmore firmly stamped her name on the racing world. After beginning a close partnership with Irish trainer, Henry de Bromhead, the pair would team up for two Cheltenham Festival winners, including a first Grade 1 winner for the jockey when Minella Indo won the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle much to the delight of punters who used their Cheltenham free bets on the selection.
The following year, Blackmore was in the winner’s enclosure at Cheltenham once again, this time on board the unbeaten mare, Honeysuckle, a horse with whom she was set to achieve amazing feats within the not-too-distant future.
In 2021, Blackmore enjoyed the most successful season of her career to date. It was her partnership with the aforementioned, Honeysuckle, that would provide the biggest Cheltenham Festival achievement for Blackmore, as she became the first female jockey to win the prestigious Champion Hurdle. Another landmark was achieved after Blackmore became the first woman to win the leading rider at the festival after recording a remarkable six wins across the four days.
One month later at Aintree, Blackmore made an even bigger breakthrough for female jockeys, this time becoming the first to win the world-famous Grand National in its 182nd running. This success catapulted her to not only more fame in the racing world but also across the sporting world as a whole. As a result, Blackmore was named RTE Sports Person of the Year and also took home the BBC World Sport Star of the Year award.
In 2022, Blackmore and Honeysuckle defended their Champion Hurdle crown, and in another first for female jockeys, Rachael became the first woman to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup on board the de Bromhead-trained A Plus Tard.
So much history has been created by Rachael Blackmore in such a short space of time, and it would be very surprising if there were not more historic milestones to be reached by one of the sport’s most famous female athletes.
