Rachael Blackmore has been rushed to hospital after the Grand National hero injured her leg following a horror fall on Friday.
The 32-year-old crashed to the turf after falling off 11-10 favourite Merry Poppins during a race at Killarney racecourse in Ireland on Friday.
Her mount stumbled over a hurdle and fell heavily on the trailblazing jockey - who won at the Grand National and was also crowned top jockey at the Cheltenham Festival - and she was taken to hospital.
