Rachael Blackmore did not ride in the 2026 Grand National; she had announced her retirement from racing at the end of the 2025 jumps season and therefore did not participate in the 2026 race. She remains a landmark figure in Grand National history as the first female jockey to win the race in 2021 on Minella Times. In 2026 she was set to be honored as a Grand National Legend, reflecting her historic status in the event.
