Irish sporting legend Rachael Blackmore made it a double last week as she scooped RTÉ 'Sports Person of the Year.2021' and BBC Sports Personality 'World Sport Star of the Year.'

Rachael Blackmore is one of racings greatest jockeys, and it is hard to ignore the girl's epic achievements in a male-dominated sport.

No female rider has more grade one winners than the Tipperary girl.

Rachael rode the winner of the 2021 Grand National on the back of 'Minella Times' and she was utterly sublime, just as she had been at the Cheltenham Festival, where success aboard Honeysuckle was her highlight in one of several race meetings she dominated in 2021.
