HISTORY! Rachael Blackmore wins the 2021 Randox Grand National aboard Minella Times

- Rachael Blackmore makes history as the leading jockey becomes the first female rider to win racing's most famous jumps race, the Grand National at Aintree.
After becoming the first female rider to be crowned the leading jockey at the Cheltenham Festival just weeks later, Blackmore trumped that remarkable achievement with the finest victory of her career and in the biggest race of them all aboard Minella Times for owner J P McManus and trainer and long-time ally Henry de Bromhead.
Blackmore said: "I just cannot believe it. He was an absolutely sensational spin. What Henry de Bromhead does with these horses, I don't know! I'm so lucky to be riding them, I just cannot believe I'm after winning the Grand National.
"I don't feel male or female right now - I don't even feel human. This is just unbelievable."
The race was a historic one for Blackmore and wider sport, and similarly notable for Ireland with the first five home and 10 of the first 11 finishers all trained in Ireland.

Many Congratulations Rachael. You made history today xx🎉🎉🌟🌟🎉🎉
The race was fixed for a woman to win 😞
Congrats to her horse, hope its well treated between races 🙏
@@terrybunch7313 clown get over urself
@@tadgfoley1919 wouldn’t even answer that troll. He appearing and commenting on every video. Rachel blackmore is amazing history maker. Terry bunch a troll
What an incredible woman , very emotional to say the least ♥️
It still gives me goose bumps watching it
Me too
🔥🔥🔥
70 years ago my grandfathers mare won the National( the last mare to win it). Such a great race.
Shes a spectacular jockey been backing her since last year and she's just incredible
Yes i backed the winner who could ignore that 11/1 Blackmore and DeBromhead .....also got 33/1 on the first four horses home being Irish 😀😀......im so proud to be Irish ..well done Racheal 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Nice one i did a similiar bet 👍
You would of got 19/1 on the exchanges. Bad value betting by yourself.
"Any second now" Unlucky lost 20 lenghts when hampered by a fallen horse , beaten 8L , But Rachael did what i thought could never be done class lady,
This was on April 10th? I thought it was last weekend. It is now Sun May 2nd. I love this race. I like it better when it is rainy and fogging. Cheers from Boston, USA.
She is the best
10 of the first 11 home are Irish? Wow.
May I ask...why so many horses at the same time? I'm just curious.. (no hate at all)
RIP The Long Mile👏❤️
Class
11-12 home Irish Trained. Some advert for UK NH racing lol King Henry is making 2021 his throne.
To bad they put so much weight on Tiger Roll that his connections were forced to back out of the National. I would have liked to see him have at 3 wins.
Well he didnt
I think the way tiger ran the other day it was the right decision
OK, I am certainly no horse or horse racing expert, but those have to be the worst names for horses I have ever seen (all of them).
She is rightfully getting the most amazing attention from what has been an amazing season!!…..but anyone that is a frequent pundit will tell you she has been bossing it for years and put fears in all the fantastic jockeys all over Ireland,she come across humble and is one off the most naturally gifted sports person we have in the Ireland and the uk
Awe 👌❣️
Minellla time's and 1 only Rachel Blackmore cracking ride well done
A truly wonderful, humble woman!
So proud still!.
Still so proud. But regardless of whether she likes it or not, Racheal Blackmore has made history. She's already a making in history, but can only hope it attracts more girls/women due to her own abilities and experience!.
A truly wonderful,
I didn't back Minella times but was cheering Racheal on at the last fence like I was going to will a million.
Well done, you made history!
Liz Goff.
Ditto.😃
Blackmore and deBromhead , what a combination, Minella Times was outstanding and looked like he had more in the tank at the finish , just brilliant for Rachael to win the National after such a fantastic week at Cheltenham too where she was the most winning jockey 🏇, I must admit having a tear in my eye as she passed the post ,👍🙏.
@Willow Cat always tragic when any animal dies .
.m.i
Wow! I was cheering the partnership on live, and now watching it back again just focusing on Rachael's ride, I couldn't help but grin and cheer them on all over again. Absolutely chuffed for Rachael - so deserved, and some lovely jumping from Minella! Shame there wasn't the crowd to see them home. Condolences to all the folks who would have watched this event with friends and family who are no longer here, may they rest in peace.
......what an earth have they done to bechers...is there still a drop....if not why are they calling it Bechers...?
Ah it's not a national no more if redrum was here today he win this blindfolded
Congratulations Rachael Blackmore.She is the first woman to win the Grand National.Wow!Simply spectacular❤
Amazing to watch history
We aren't daft
Race was fixed for her to win. Handicappers are clever like that.
inthought elizabeth taylor won it
@@tcrow456 How much money you make on Betfair? Exactly, they make money off you. You the Muppet buddy. You an amateur who will never need to worry about premium tax. Jog on you insignificant nobody.
Was watching live and clapping and cheering at the TV, watched again on ITV+1 and now again on here.
She followed the favourite Cloth Cap for safety until he fell back, avoided the faller that interfered with Ted's horse, such an intelligent ride.
So proud of her and Henry, love their humility.
Great horse, perfect jumping, just an amazing day 🇮🇪 💚 💚.
They are lifting a Nation that's on it's knees.
I think you'll find that most nations are on their knees at the moment due to this current madness. At least you've got all the good horses at the moment 😁🇬🇧. Peace ✌
it was a deal done before the race , cloth cap should have won
@@smallfeet4581 are you suggesting the race was fixed?
@@patrickfarrell5092 no , lol , my horse was cloth cap , he got beat , sore loser
rachael blackmore and minella times wins the grand national 2021
Thanks Michael Owen.

Weirdo
yes she won
rip duke of edinburgh
National Velvet just came true!
Rachael Blackmore is a legend!
1st Women to Win The Grand National!
Bloody Brilliant!
I thought the same thing.
The horse that was killed in a race that's strictly meant for the entertainment of humans would disagree. :(
🥳 🥇 🏆 🐎
Watched this lady ride winners at my local track wexford, shes pure class well done Rachel 👍👍👍
@bodoti qwiu shes brilliant
Up the irish and defo Rachael blackmore
I could have cried for Jett just completely powering down like one of the others pulled his charger out the wall. He ran and jumped like a demon all the way and then so close to home *Shhhhhhhhrrrmmm* Gone. Never felt so sorry to see a horse run out of steam like that since Crisp got cheese string legs after he jumped the last.
Went too early these horses are only used to going just over 3 miles.
Never Thought I'd See It. Absolutely Delighted For You Rachael. CONGRATULATIONS! X
Amazing
She seems a beautiful, humble and modest woman.What a girl. So talented: xxx
The race was fixed for a woman to win 😞
Please shut the hell up!
What a brilliant ride from her shes top class!!!..125/1 for the irish to finish in top 5 places!!.
As long as she don't have a whip in her hand or otherwise.., oh boy!
@@tomgallagher7870 The race was fixed for a woman to win 😞
Hollie Doyle on flat. 1 and only on jumps Rachel Blackmore women taking over 👏👍
One of them horses never got to go home to his stable. RIP The Long Mile!
Really about time we looked National Hunt racing, far too many horses die.
@@alansbinnie1446 Agreed mate
Proper dangerous. Still don't believe it's like it is still. I mean you can still have hurdles all the horses would clear easy and there would be a winner because its fastest horse wins. Difficult hurdles they barely clear sees them and the jockeys get injured or die. Keeping things traditional is just an excuse for lack of safety.
I respect your point of view and I firmly believe no one wants to see the horses hurt or worse (nor the jockeys).
It's difficult to quantify in many respects, but I have a real love for jump racing. I have been riding for over 30 years and have schooled pointers, hunters and done some xc. I have a real love for horses. All I will say is that 99% of people in racing, at whatever level, have a real love for horses and the horses themselves, magnificent beasts that they are, have probably the best lives any domesticated or farmed animals have. Of that I have no doubt. I guess one could argue against domestication or farming, but where would that leave us? For me the whole gambling part of the industry is incidental (though I do like to bet on course as part of a day out - the only off course bets on any sport I place is the Gold Cup or The National). The actual racing is only part of it. To see the string out on the gallops on a sunny winter morning is a sight to behold and stirs something in people who have no knowledge of horses or racing. I would hate to lose any of that.
RIP The Long Mile (and those that have gone before him) absolutely.
Peace ✌
They should get rid of the ambulances and make it fair and do the same to injured jockeys
Just like Cheltenham, total Irish fix with the weights. Ask yourself why the first 6 home were Irish. She carried one of the lowest weights.
For me best female jump jockey ever
If ever a female was going to win the national it had to be rachel kept the horse out of trouble perfect ride and she deserves every success just topped off a great year and just what racing needed at this moment brilliant
We'll have a lot more female athletes in the future, definitely! When more people feel encouraged and supported to follow these kind of fields.
Wont be long bfore a woman wins it again cause it's not a national no more
What an amazing jockey, what a fantastic person, what an attractive lady! If Rachael (being Irish) is eligible for Sports Personality of the Year, I'm voting for her. Rachael is simply fantastic!
Racheal Blackmore.....surely a contender for International Sports Personality Of The Year as she's Irish of course. But it's all down to the horses themselves. Take a bow Minella Times 🙂 🐴
A fantastic moment for women's sport too. It proves that the girls can compete at the very top with men. Hard work and determination will get them there.
And in horse racing you only have to look at what Hollie Doyle and Bryony Frost have achieved in two years. Rachael has raised the bar much higher now.
Hollie to become first female jockey to win the Derby this year? You wouldn't bet against it, would you.......it might happen you know. 😉
Magical stuff.
I come from a racing family but, if your horse has nothing left and you have no chance of a place then spare your whip, couldn't help but notice that little c88t on Jet, flogging him all the way home, fine the little bugger
Looks like the success is spreading with Jamie Kah riding her 5th G1 in Australia who will most probably win the Melbourne jockey's title this season. Two female jockey's leading the way in the big races - one on the flat and the other over the jumps. Well done to both and well done to Rachael for winning the GN.
First woman to win in 170+ years and she does so during a pandemic with little to no crowd. Although I doubt that mattered to her the whole racetrack would be setting off car alarms with the cheering had it been a few years back.
All in all congrats on making history!
Amazing and a grueling test of skill and speed. Rachel Blackmore, you rock, girl!!!! (And kudos to the riderless horse that kept going!)
Phenomenal result for years women jockeys got the odd ride on a rank outsider with little chance of even completing then in recent times Carrie Ford Rosemary Henderson Nina Carberry and Katie Walsh got on better quality horses. Nowadays trainers like Nichols Mullins and De Bromhead deserve credit giving the rides on fancied hprses to jockeys like Bryony Frost and Rachel Blackmore. Followed the National since a boy in the 70,s .After Red Rum (RECORD WILL NEVER BE BROKEN). And Aldiniti with Bob Champion (A FAIRYTALE VICTORY) That victory by Rachel will live long in the memory well done Girl . And a big mention to Henry De Bromhead what a handler a Champion Hurdle ,Queen Mother Champion Chase the 1,2 in the Gold Cup and the 1,2 in the Grand National in the same season unbelievable. Thank God she picked the right one after having the choice in the Gold Cup and picking the wrong one.
Great few weeks for Rachel 6 wins at the Cheltenham Festival an now a aintree grand national win. What a few weeks for henry de bromhead 1-2 in the grand national 1-2 in the gold cup. Wins the champion hurdle with honeysuckle. A champion chase with put the kettle on an now a grand national with minella times that is some training achievement
Congratulations to Rachel Blackmore. Unfortunately she never seems to win for me!
You should've had faith in her.
What a year Rachael Blackmore is having....what a recovery by Any Second Now to finish 3rd nearly taken out of it early in the race by double shuffle
Beautifully done and a very smooth ride. Fantastic horse and jockey. Well done Ireland!
Gewan Rachael 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Still the Greatest Race and what a fantastic race well done Rachel and Minella Times
The fall of magic of light was scary as hell jockey was hit right in the face by a hoof, hope he’s okay
If I’m right MOL didn’t fall but unseated jockey and continued, then bridle came off...so maybe jockey came off because the tack broke?
A sublime ride by Rachel Blackmore on a horse that didn’t put a foot wrong all the way round. A wonderful shot in the arm for horse racing after the disgusting Gordon Elliott incident. Rachel you are the best jockey riding today - ice cool with great intelligence. A joy to behold.
SO proud of Rachael, what a great ride,, and what a ride for de Bromhead too!! Great year for them both :)
The race was fixed for a woman to win 😞
Terry that is just a load off pish your talking get real wimen are no longer tied to doing the house work pal there taking what they deserve a equal footing in this world its been a long time coming
@@terrybunch7313 she’s better than nearly every other jockey out there so tell me how it is fixed
@@mjmurphy1775 Spoken like a true simp.
@@terrybunch7313 tell me how it’s fixed
Congratulations Rachel absolutely superb as usual . A true heroine of the sport
We had a golden period of Jockeys AP , Ruby , Geraghty , Johnson but now they have all retired Blackmore has become the go to for the punters
She is the smartest jockey in the business
what a team! absolutely incredible race, well done Rachael and Minella Times!!! ❤️
Shame a full house couldn't cheer her home.
Well played Rachel Blackmore,
Henry de Bromhead and Minella Times 👏👏👏
Well done Rachel Blackmore. She's made history. I think it is time, and I'm sure that she would agree, that we put this gender thing to one side. Ladies have been the equal of men in all other equine disciplines for many years now. If you consider who comes into equine pursuits at the bottom end you will find that it is overwhelmingly female, it is therefore actually surprising that (A) this hasn't happened earlier and (B) men are more than competitive across the equine disciplines, despite being greatly outnumbered at entry level.
I guess my answer would be that it takes a lot of bravery and a requirement to be very tough to keep getting back on after frequent "unintentional dismounts". I speak as a rider of over 30 years!
Rachel, Bryony et al have these requirements in spades. More power to them I say.
I've often wondered why we don't have more female jockeys even on the flat it seems unusual considering that generally women would be more inclined or interested early on and be physically smaller, lighter and whatnot. If I didn't reach 5'11 by my early teens I'd have loved to race but sadly I was already way too tall by 13yrs. In other sports such as eventing women seldom win but when they do it's purely on merit. The reason they don't often is because they're such bloody big strong horses and hard to keep in line and tight over XC fences. Jump jockeys like this are another level altogether and Rachael deserves every bit of credit for her superb ride.
Bryony Frost would of won on that horse, it was a steering job barring a fall. If you put the females alongside a McCoy in a driving finish they wouldn't fare so well. The bookmakers love all this hype, no jockey shows a profit long-term. When I back Hollie Doyle her other half wins, same happened in the Gold Cup, a team orders barging match.
@@frankspencer6935
I agree with much of what you say, though I would stop short of calling the longest and toughest horse race on the planet, over 4m 2f and 30 fences, with 40 runners all competing for the one prize, a steering exercise. Rachel Blackmore got that class of horse because she is in very good form.
I am as much against the hype that, I have no doubt, these ladies are too. But that's the media for you. I grant that on equal ability horses on a hard and physical run in, a male jockey may win out due to those circumstances. But Rachel in this race and at Cheltenham, and Bryony in the King George, keep proving the legitimate doubters and the outright cynical wrong.
@@CharlotteWeb100
Too bad you got to tall to race. I'm no fan of the hype that surrounds this particular gender issue (nor any of the other gender issues in general life!)
I would guess that most of the detractors and cynics in this comment section and many others, that comment negatively on female jockeys, have never been near a horse in their lives. I have schooled pointers, hunters and competed in xc at an average level (usually employing the 'point your horse at gallop toward the fence and hope for the best' method - and that is only partly a joke 🤣) so I have some idea of what it takes. I would wager that Rachel Blackmore, Bryony Frost et al have more metaphorical 'balls' then all of their detractors put together. 😊
She was faultless around the course.
First woman to Win Racheal Blackmore The Grand National 2021 Thankyou it was perfect
I watched it over and over the recording of the race and watching the silk color of Rachel and it is amazing that shows how an excellent rider she is that she was always in the contention of the race her skills to let her horse jump was superb throughout.
Faultless performance from the winner. Jumped every fence perfectly. Rachel Blackmore has a knack of getting the horse into a rhythm leading up to a fence and landing without losing momentum. Very balanced and pivots her weight equally along the length of the horse. The only other thing I see is she keeps her elbows in, much more than the other jockeys which makes her more aerodynamic.
Well done, Rachel Blackmore!!! It's wonderful that men and women compete against each other in this sport on a completely equal basis. It's about time that it was the same with football, rugby, tennis and athletics - indeed ALL other sports!!
So you want women to play against in rugby ete, etc.
@@stephenburke5967 The scrums will be interesting!
@@gary1961 plenty of Hookers.
@@stephenburke5967 Absolutely ..... if the men are up to it!
It wouldn't work in contact sports. Women are built differently and this can't be ignored. Yes for the non-contact sports like golf and horse racing where the natural disparity in body strength doesn't count so much.
I bet the trainer cant believe it himself. Everyone banging on about Rachel blackmore being a woman and everything she doesn't give a shit it's all about living the dream.
All the its the first woman to win stuff it's not even on her or the other female riders minds or agenda because if thats the driving force there wouldn't be any female riders because to ride in national hunt racing you can't even consider human feelings male or female because you wouldn't have the balls to do it
Simple as that,
when she's riding she's most definitely not thinking this one's for the girls absolutely no chance.
Congratulations Rachel blackmore.
Grandnational not a national no more just ordinary chase tiger roll would never have won it when it twas a national RIP REDRUM
Someone should be writing the script for the film to come in the future! As Annie Lennox once sang "Sweet Dreams (are made of this)", Pleased I've lived to see the day. At 74 yo I've seen a few memorable Grand Nationals - this one tops them all - Ms Blackmore rode this race as smooth as you like and showed all her skills and knowledge of the engine on which she was sitting.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👑👏🏆💪
I thought Jet was going to win but well done Rachael Blackmore
That horse is phenomenal. Congratulations to both!
Seems like a rather thin, trim, and sleek horse.
Do we know how many horses died on or off the course?
Unfortunately nobody seems to care as long as they can make money out of it
Yes she's an amazing jockey. But that's what she chooses to do as a life choice. I think about the horses. They have no choice. They either win loose or die. I don't understand the green screens. If you participate in racing for a day out, surely you must see what actually goes on? When I hear "it's gone amiss, or broken down " why don't they show what the general public are betting on and seeing it from beginning to end.
Didn't back it, but you've got to say Any Second Now was a very unlucky loser.
He wasn’t.
@@bluejag100 Explain...
@@csb7376 He made a terrible blunder which cost him the race. Watch it again. He didn’t jump well enough. Yes he was hampered but he had plenty of time to get back in the race. Minella Times on the other hand never touched a twig and jumped superbly. He was the best horse in the race.
@@bluejag100 Regardless of how early the interference by Double Shuffle happened, it still happened. He lost the ground he was beaten plus momentum in that incident, so without that incident he would probably have won. Like I say, I'm not talking through my pocket, just saying it as I see it. All about opinions.
@@csb7376 If the Titanic hadn’t hit the iceberg it wouldn’t have sunk.
Zero bitter feminism involved in this, no short cuts given to this girl, just unbelievable dedication & hard work from Rachel.
Rachel, you're an inspiration to females all around the globe.
Amazing! You go, girl!
By the way -- what a 🐎 Minella Times is. Beauty!
Rachel is different gravy, but a shout-out to any second now coming back from that hampering!
Absolutely perfectly run race by first woman to win the Grand National! Fab win by horse & rider 👍👍👍
Absolutely magnificent ride from Rachael Blackmore, one of THE best in the business. Great rides from the horses that finished 2nd and 3rd, the latter perhaps unlucky but take nothing away from the Queen of Aintree.
Cert of the year Rachel Blackmore Sporting Personality Of The Year 2021,Get on
She's not eligible, being Irish.
Have to be British.
Up 200 quid thanks
How long before a feature film is made ? I bet plans are afoot.
I think she would have still won if she hadn't whipped him so at the end. He was already giving his all.
Was cheering for Bryony. Hope she is okay.
@Lee N
She's a fox...🤭
She's fine apparently her and Harry cobden are at home battered and bruised but resting
As long as their both alright hope brynony wins more of the big races and maybe a grand national but as an Irishman I'm delighted that our Rachel was the first lady jockey to win the grandnational
@@Minime163 yep both fine mate ,and I found myself cheering on Rachel at the end even though I hadn't bet on her
Wow, what a stupid game? All for the benefit of human entertainment... The irony is how fast those horses were without anyone ontop of them. They congratulate the human not the horse. I'd rather watch horses race alone than be whipped and forced to jump fences in massive disastrous heards causing chaos and fatal injury's

big run from Minella to finish first lol

This horse jumps these Aintree fences for joy.

Now for Rachael Blackmore The Movie, I would pay to see it as long as it was Directed by someone that knows something about Horse Racing.
It's not about the fact she is a women dof your caps boys she won coz she was the best on the day and don't forget who got her there minella times
Nick Luck wouldn't be excited by a warm sandwich.
Well done Rachel !! Nice to see a woman win
who sad the Ladies can't not win the Grand National ok the Irish National is the to have women wining the national but will take it to another level now
Red rum would blow them all away
Well done Rachel
Fantastic 👩👌🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏
