I sat on one of the First Minella horses if not the First just outside Rathronan in Clonmel Co Tipperary my Dad was from the same town Rachel is from Killenaule also, I rode for Tommy Kinane in Crohane in Killenaule that would be Mick Kinane's dad Tommy is a lovely Man but that was in the late 80s.

Best jockey in Jumps racing right now, and potentially one of the best of all time, and Matt Chapman probably the best horse racing presenter.

[@philmaguire3014]

Never heard of Matt Chapman before, but what a fair and balanced commentator. He tap danced easily through a potential minefield and did a fantastic job given this hypersensitive day and age.

[@NinjaSquirrel30]

Fair play, great Jockey what a year for her. Congrats

[@simonhouston1141]

She can't out strength the men but her tactics, timing and know how, is brilliant. Sports personality of the year, for sure.

[@davidc7419]

Up the Irish 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@timeless4369]

I backed her all the way and she just keeps winning for me, cheers Rachael.

[@cdcollins9226]

Well done!!

[@dazza4345]

I think more young girls will be interested in becoming a jockey now all over Ireland and the UK because of the likes of Rachel Blackmore and Katie Walsh.

And nina carberry

Rachel isn't any old woman she's an IRISH woman 🇮🇪☘

[@johnb8935]

Stupid comment just a great jockey does not matter her nationality what about lester pickett and Steve cauhen they were not irish

[@Minime163]

@@johnb8935 it's called a joke a bit of levity but if you want to start talking about great jockeys lester and Steve cauhen were great jockies in their own right but they were flat jockies Rachel is national hunt no disrespect to flat jockies but your just not comparing like with like

[@wallybazoum]

@@johnb8935 If you're going to use jockeys from the past to illustrate your point it might be helpful to at least get their names right. I can only assume you meant Piggott and Cauthen.

[@keithkeegan9776]

Want to talk about jockeys the irish have the best jockeys and horses in the world

[@johnb8935]

@North European Taxpayer ray houghton andy townsend , john aldridge,mick, mccarthy ??? Did we claim them as irish ???

[@johnnybgood1169]

Why does it matter that she's a woman? She's clearly an excellent jockey. Congrats to her and her team.

[@user-fy6xv6xw7n]

But that's the point.. She is competing on an even footing.. and is the first woman to win the national.. Thereby proving gender is irrelevant in this instance

[@johnmartin7370]

Or She couldfind a Man / Partner who will stay home and look after the Kids like about half the couples in her year in college... No brainer really. She will one day be as famous as Mahomid Ali.

[@user-fy6xv6xw7n]

So famous you can't even spell his name 🤣🤣

[@Minime163]

Trouble is she won't be able to find a man to carry the baby for nine months and have him/her after

[@damienocallaghan2648]

And then Robbie Dunne and Bryony Frost scandal happened

[@hermankermit-warm1121]

She did ever so well to sit on that horse, well done to all jockeys for being small and weighing next to nothing, what a talent!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Go try it, see how you get on
