Blackmore Out with Neck Injury Following Fall.

Pioneering jockey Rachael Blackmore will be sidelined for a while after suffering a neck injury from a fall.

Rachael Blackmore, the trailblazing jockey who made history as the first female rider to win the Grand National, suffered a neck injury during a fall at Downpatrick on Friday.

Niall Cronin, spokesperson for the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, confirmed, 'Rachael Blackmore has sustained a neck injury and will not be riding in the coming weeks as she focuses on her rehabilitation.'

While fans are eager for updates, no specific diagnosis or timeline for her return has been announced, leaving the racing community hopeful for her swift recovery.
