It’s been announced that Rachael Blackmore will return to the competitive saddle this Saturday at Ballybrit.
The Killenaule jockey has been out of action since sustaining a fractured ankle and a hip injury at Killarney in July.
But it’s been announced today that Rachael is booked to ride Balko Des Flos in the WB Gavin & Co Handicap Hurdle in Galway for Henry de Bromhead on Saturday afternoon.
Rachael became a household name earlier this year, becoming the first female jockey to win the Aintree Grand National, and also leading rider at the Cheltenham Festival.
