Possible the best Jump Jockey in the world at this moment and a beautifully humble woman.

Awesome woman 👏. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@pennyroyalt2542]

Such a humble, wonderful woman!.

She was good in Deep Purple too....

Well done Rachel your a credit to the sport of horse racing x

[@davidattwell2574]

Lovely Rachel ❤️😁😄😊

[@SeanT649]

Hon tipp - hon Rachel .Next time she will be cheered on by thousands with the crowds back .

[@darraghfarrell2245]

Fair play to her. In reality there should be no big deal made of her being a woman ( Yes I know she's the first) because there is absolutely no reason why women shouldn't be every bit as good as men are at being jockeys which is not the case in pretty much every other sport. If anything being a women makes their lives easier as they don't have the same pressure on them regarding keeping their weight down.

[@hs3244]

Says a man who doesn't suddenly overnight put on 7lbs once a month for no other reason than nature.

she drives them out as good as any of the Men , even better perhaps , it's no big secret she is just DIFFERENT CLASS

[@leesanders6610]

Because of the Duke of Edinburgh's death, she got hardly any coverage in the UK after winning the National, shame really as it was a historic achievement.

[@carolinebyrne4995]

Rachel you are brill there are so many little girls watching you now who will be champion jockey one day thank you and God bless you for a very long and very useful career

[@gtanz8475]

Someone, please do the movie. It's a huge Success Story.

Rachel is the best. Ruby Walsh was great in describing why she is great .. she is tactically number one as well as her other attributes of being as tough as teak.

[@simonhouston1141]

Humble, brilliant, ridiculous tactically, best pr racing has had. She's really hot on top. Win for everyone.

[@deletebilderberg]

An incredible lady jumped 12 of the biggest fences in national hunt racing with a ton of animal underneath her, and I see ‘men’ walking down the street wearing two feckin masks, terrified of a ‘virus’ with 99.9% survival rate.

[@johnmcintyre800]

The problem with the virus is the 99% that can walk down the street with it can shake it off no problem but hopefully by wearing a mask they won't pass it on to the 1% that it could kill or end up in ICU for weeks trying to treat it

[@michaelmcardle]

Brilliant jockey.

[@michaelhopkins7878]

Magnificent. Bravo Rachael 🙏

[@jimwilliams6342]

To listen to all the commentary you would think she had won the race withouto the horse!Fair play to her though she did it without any gender quotas!

Fair play to Rachel, she is brilliant! I remember when it was unbelievable when a woman just rode in the race. She is as good as ay jockey today! Who is your man, he looks like a young Tommy Bowe?

[@johnmartin7370]

Once upon a time in 1953 the Chairman of IBM (Thomas Watson) said "I think there is a World Market for maybe five Computers". The only thing that matters about this statement is that the Media of the day took it entirely out of context to make him look stupid and well.... they still do. In truth it was a defining moment in the history of computing because it was made at a stockholders meeting with a view to attracting safe and risk understood futures investment in the Corporation, specifically, in its future in computing. If Irish Media are at all concerned about their future, they will invest in the opportunity to allow this Woman space. She is not just an amazing "Irish Women's Athlete" she is a World class icon who in spite of Katy Taylors boxing career could challenge the likes of Mahammad Ali, Pele, Phelps, Jordan, Bolt, Brown and even Bo Jackson. Pleassssse give her a chance. Even over the last month her application of learnings and work ons has proven exponential.
