    Rachael Blackmore has made sporting history by becoming the first woman jockey to ride the winner of the Grand National, the world's greatest steeplechase horse race

    Rachael Blackmore has made sporting history by becoming the first woman jockey to ride the winner of the Grand National, the world's greatest steeplechase horse race


    The 31-year-old Irish rider has steered Minella Times to glory at Aintree, in 11-1 odds.

    Blackmore is the 20th female jockey to compete in a race that has been a mud- splattered British sporting institution since 1839.

    Women have only been allowed to enter the National as jockeys since 1975
