What horse is Rachael Blackmore riding in Grand National 2022? Jockey's entry and odds

Rachael Blackmore will be hoping to leave the Grand National triumphant once again after winning with Minella Times (11-1) last year - when she became the first female jockey to win the race.

The 32-year-old took the big prize at Cheltenham Festival last month, winning the Gold Cup on A Plus Tard, and she'll be looking to do the double this weekend.

The Grand National Festival got underway on Thursday, with the doors opening for racegoers for the first time in three years. Thousands of punters will take to Aintree across the three days hoping to beat the bookies and plenty more in front of the screens too.

Aintree will hold 21 races over the weekend, including Saturday's Grand National race at 5:15pm. Fans will be eager to know which horse Blackmore is racing, with punters likely to back the popular jockey once again.

Blackmore will again be riding Minella Times in this year's Grand National on Saturday afternoon. Minella Times is currently listed as a 12/1 shot on SkyBet.

“The Grand National has a different feel to it,” she told BBC Sport. “You don’t feel the same kind of pressure as you do for Cheltenham. Everyone knows there are so many different variables for the Grand National and so much can happen, so no jockey feels the same expectation.

“What you do feel is excitement. Jockeys will wish each other good luck. It has a different feel to it. And especially riding someone like Minella Times.”
