Rachael rides into the history books as  irish trained horses dominate the Aintree grand national

What a race and what an unbelievable outcome for Irish National Hunt racing.  Rachael Blackmore continued her good run of form to power home in the Randox Aintree Grand National at Aintree.  She etched her name into racing folklore as the first lady rider to win this most famous race of all and has established herself as a role-model for every young aspiring jockey regardless of gender.  
 
Huge congratulations are extended to owner JP McManus, his wife Noreen and their Family.  It is very poignant that when National Hunt history was being made that his green and gold silks were involved considering the  huge impact he has made on the sport both sides of the Irish sea.  For Henry DeBromhead, I’m sure this dream season is one he never wants to wake up from and we are delighted for him and his team at Knockeen Stables in Co. Waterford.
 
Kevin Blake in his commentary on ITV steered viewers to a 50/1 bet for the first four home being Irish trained much to the bemusement of his fellow presenters and how right he was!  Not only were first four home Irish trained but the first 5 and 9 out of the first 10 to finish the race.  That is a remarkable achievement and we want to extend our heartiest congratulations to all connections.  
Other Irish Winners at the festival included the following:
 
Grade 1 – Abacadabras – Gigginstown House Stud –Denise Foster
Grade 1 – Belfast Banter – Direct Bloodstock Ltd – Peter Fahey
Grade 1 – Fakir D’Oudairies – JP McManus – Joseph O’Brien
