Rachael Blackmore has officially retired from her successful career as a jockey, concluding her journey after guiding Bob Olinger to victory in the Stayers' Hurdle at the Cotswolds. The 35-year-old, known for her groundbreaking win in the Aintree Grand National, realized it was time to step back while reflecting on her experiences with renowned horses like Honeysuckle. Following her final race, a moment of clarity came when a subsequent win made her decide to retire. Blackmore has started a new chapter, having penned a children's book and will be exploring future endeavors.
I love horses. They have given me the best days of my life and I have been so lucky to be involved with some of the best ones.
If this one wins then maybe that's the time to call it. She won and, the following morning, I fully decided that was it.
