A FRAMED photograph of Minella Times winning the Grand National, signed by Rachael Blackmore, will be auctioned online early next month.

The top jockey donated the item when she heard the auction proceeds will go to Little Blue Heroes, a Garda Síochána charity, which aims to help families in need from local communities in Ireland who have children undergoing longterm medical treatment for serious illness.

Sheppards will forego any commission on the sale of the photograph, which is part of a two-day auction of unusual items which might suit a commercial premises, such as a pub or hotel.

Parrot Mouth would be happy if the guards could take a look at our penalty points in the meantime.
