Rachael Blackmore has made racing history by becoming the first female Jockey to win the Aintree Grand National.
She booted 11-1 chance Minella Times to a memorable success in the world's greatest steeplechase to book her place in racing folklore.
The Tipperary native was the first female jockey to win the award for the leading rider at the Cheltenham Festival three weeks ago.

Minella Times jumped the final fence well and with just over a furlong to run and Blackmore kept the horse in the lead all the way to the finish line to beat the 100-1 shot Balko Des Flos by six and a half lengths with Any Second Now in third and Burrows Saint back in fourth.
The horse is trained by Henry de Bromhead and owned by JP McManus.
