Betfair have rounded up the final figure of the Rachael Blackmore Serial Winners Fund to £250,000 as the charity initiative ended at Aintree on Saturday.
The fund, which celebrates and recognises the determination and hard work of jockeys in the world of racing, was officially launched last November on Betfair Chase day at Haydock Park.
Betfair made an initial £100,000 donation, before pledging to donate an additional £5,000 every time Blackmore rides a winner between until Grand National Day.
The Irish jockey has raised £210,00 in total across the 140 days, including winning two races at Cheltenham.
