Blackmore’s two horses run in Grade 3 contests on the final day of the Grand National Festival. They each have claims in competitive and absorbing races around the famous Aintree circuit. Let’s take a look at Rachael Blackmore’s three Day 3 rides here.
Rachael Blackmore Day 3 Aintree Rides
Emitom – EFT Construction Handicap Hurdle (Grade 3) (1.45)
Rachael Blackmore’s first ride of the final day at Aintree on Grand National Saturday comes in the opening Handicap Hurdle where she takes the ride on Emitom for Warren Greatrex.
One of the outsiders for this Grade 3 Handicap, however the last few races he has finished have been impressive. Bar being pulled up on his last outing at Haydock in February, the 8-year-old has two second place finishes either side of a third place finish.
If Blackmore can keep him travelling nicely until the final few furlongs, Emitom could have any chance of landing punters some each-way money here. Will need to run a near perfect race but we all know Rachael Blackmore is more than capable of doing that.

Minella Times – Grand National Handicap Chase (Grade 3) (5.15)
This time around it looks like it could a lot tougher for Minella Times, as he hasn’t completed a full race since Aintree last year, falling and pulling up respectively.
However, you can never write off a previous winner, especially one with one of the best jockey’s in the sport on it’s back in Rachael Blackmore. This Henry De Bromhead trained gelding horse tops the weights for the 2022 Grand National and will have to carry 11st 10lbs this time around.
This is 15lbs (over a stone) heavier than he travelled last year in his maiden Grand National victory, which makes the task even more difficult for this JP McManus owner horse.
It would be some achievement if Blackmore could make it two successive Grand National victories, and you certainly cannot put it past her in the form she is in.
