History was made in Saturday's Grand National when jockey Rachael Blackmore won the famous Aintree race.
Rachael triumphed in a memorable victory on Minella Times as the event came to a gripping conclusion with outsider Balko Des Fos and the well fancied Any Second Now also in contention.
When asked about her Grand National victory, the first ever by a female jockey, while still atop Henry de Bromhead trained Minella Times, Rachael told ITV: "I don’t feel male or female, I don’t even feel human. I feel unbelievable."
She later said: "I just cannot believe it He was an absolutely sensational. By god, what Henry de Bromhead does with these horses. I just can’t believe it. This is unbelievable.
"He was just incredible. I was trying to wait as long as I could. When we jumped the last and I asked for a bit, he was there. I don’t feel male or female, I don’t even feel human. I feel unbelievable."
