MINELLA Times (160) wrote Rachael Blackmore’s name into racing’s history books at Aintree on Saturday, when the all-conquering jockey crowned the most memorable of seasons by adding the Randox Grand National to a seemingly endless list of honours.

The 31-year-old commented after the race that her mount did not miss a beat all the way round the iconic circuit, which is just about the perfect description to summarise where she positioned the son of Oscar throughout Saturday’s marquee event.
