UK Horse Racing Tips

Katie Walsh knows a thing to two about the Grand National. Above in partnership with Betway, she details the tough path that women jockeys have had to even gain the opportunity to participate in the event. Consequently the history of female jockeys in the sport only goes as far back as the late 70’s. Even with that being the case though, Walsh herself came an impressive third on Seabass in 2012, and so without a doubt the first female jockey winner of the Grand National is out there somewhere.

As for the 2021 race (which itself has three female jockeys taking part) current betting odds would suggest that Cloth Cap trained by Jonjo O’Neill and ridden by Tom Scudamore is head and shoulders above the rest, at 4-1 at time of writing. In looking to be one of the shortest priced winners in the history of the race, he has to fend off the likes of Burrows Saint and Every Second now (both 10-1). Whatever the eventual outcome it’s great to have the Grand National back!
