Racing Review | Rachael Blackmore makes Grand National history | Racing Postcast
Maddy Playle is joined by James Stevens, Keith Melrose and Graham Byrne for a look back on a historic weekend at Aintree.
The three days of racing on Merseyside kicked off with a treble of Grade 1s for owner Sir Alex Ferguson, including an eyecatching performance from a potential superstar in Monmiral.
Irish domination was once again the theme on day two as Belfast Banter followed up his Cheltenham win in graded company and Patrick Mullins and Livelovelaugh made the Topham look like a schooling session.
But it was Rachael Blackmore and Henry de Bromhead who stole the show as the former became the first female jockey to win the Grand National while the latter added to his Cheltenham Gold Cup glory.
The team also take a look ahead to the Scottish National on Sunday and pick out their fancies for the race.
