Woman Jockey Wins The Grand National
What a headline but it came true today with Rachael Blackmore winning on a horse called Minella Times.
Well done to Rachael.
The first woman to ride in the Grand National was way back in 1977 with Charlotte Brew riding for the first time.

Re: Woman Jockey Wins The Grand National
Imagine people who normally gamble in the Grand National, I bet women would bet on her while the men don't.
Not being sexist or anything but I can just imagine that being the case.
