    Rachael Blackmore

    Another terrific ride there on the cracking Sinoria who was so promising I remember on her debut when she ran about a bit after the last .

    It goes without saying how good she is but Roger Brookhouse has decided to fly Tom Scudamore over to ride his two de Bromhead trained runners ! Bizarre.

    TS has ridden forRB for many years and won plenty of nice races for him including an Arkle and an Imperial Cup, don't see a problem.

    Who gets the ride on Monalee.. Racheal or Noel Fehily?
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    I reckon you back everything she rides at the festival you'll come out in front.......not just the best woman rider she's as good as any many with uncanny timing in her head

    I hope but know Terrestrial tv will cast her in the role of the female rider.

    It's a role she doesn't want or ever reference herself.

    Hopefully the hysteria doesn't play into her subconscious too much and racing can subsequently become the first sport to not continually hark in to the gender of the pilot and take it that the cream will just ride to the top

    I think her talent deserves to be celebrated for what it is, PJ. Paul Townend, Bryan Cooper and Jack Kennedy all attracted plenty of attention in their breakthrough years. She's a major arrival on the Irish scene and I hope she gets the chance to demonstrate her talent at the big meetings in England too.

    Fully agree. Just hope it's her talent is what gets her the recognition she deserves and not merely gender

    Listening to the docu makers on Radio 1 today they are celebrating the ladies in racing as jockeys, stable staff and trainers; they are the guys who made Jump Boys a few years ago.
