Grand National-winning jockey Rachael Blackmore has retired from racing with immediate effect.
In 2021, the Irishwoman became the first female jockey to win the race, which began in 1839.
Blackmore won the world’s most famous steeplechase aboard Henry de Bromhead-trained Minella Times in the colours of owner JP McManus.
