All eyes were on Aintree Racecourse last week for three days of top class Jump Racing.
Liverpool played host to 21 thrilling races, including the most famous steeplechase of them all, The Randox Grand National.
The iconic race is watched worldwide and delivers storylines and thrilling drama like no other. This year Minella Times gave owner JP McManus a second Grand National victory and provided a piece of sporting history as Rachael Blackmore became the first female jockey to win the race in its history.
Katie Walsh caught up with Rachael Blackmore in an exclusive interview before The Randox Grand National. Neither of them could have predicted what was to come.
The parade ring fell silent before racing at the Randox Grand National Festival, in honour of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away last week.
