Who is Rachael Blackmore riding in the 2025 Grand National?
by Oisin Doherty · Irish MirrorThe 2025 Grand National takes place this Saturday and the field is stacked full of world class talent.
The full list of runners and riders was announced on Thursday morning, and we now know what jockeys will be on what horses for the World's Greatest steeplechase.
All eyes will be on Willie Mullins' I Am Maximus as Paul Townend bids to win his second National in a row, while Gavin Sheehan will try to make history for John 'Shark' Hanlon when he rides Hewick at Aintree.
For Rachael Blackmore, her hopes lie in Minella Indo. The Henry de Bromhead trained horse finished third in the National last year a full eight lengths behind eventual winner I Am Maximus.
Blackmore has tremendous history in this race, memorably winning aboard Minella Times in 2021 as she became the first female jockey to ever win the Grand National.
