Rachael will be sidelined for "the coming weeks"

Rachael Blackmore will be sidelined for "the coming weeks" due to a neck injury sustained in a fall at Downpatrick on Friday. She parted ways with her mount, Hand Over Fist, trained by Denis Howard, during a handicap chase.

Currently tied for the jockeys’ championship lead with 23 winners alongside Keith Donoghue and Sam Ewing, the Gold Cup and Grand National winner will now focus on recovery. 

Niall Cronin, head of communications for the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, confirmed, "Following her fall, Rachael has sustained a neck injury and will not ride while she undergoes rehabilitation."
