Iconic jockey Rachael Blackmore has singled out four horses she thinks will all win at this year's Cheltenham Festival. Combining the now-retired rider's selections could land a whopping 70-1 accumulator.


With 18 Festival winners to her name, the trailblazing Blackmore called time on her career in May last year at the age of 35. Her crowning glory at Prestbury Park came in 2021 when six winners landed her with leading jockey honours.


Although she won't get a leg up in the week, Blackmore is still heavily involved with the meet. She's been appointed the Head of Ladies Day for the 2026 renewal in a bid to boost female attendance.


Blackmore also has her eye on a few fancies competing in some of the more notable races, and four horses in particular feature in her Festival accumulator.

Betfair Ambassador Blackmore exclusively told Mirror Racing: "On Wednesday, although it's boring enough, I'll go with Majborough in the Champion Chase.

• John Hunt opens up on how triple murder left him 'unravelling' before Cheltenham commentary


"On Thursday I'd have whichever of Willie [Mullins'] goes to the Ryanair (Fact To File). I'd also then have to have Bob Olinger for the Stayers' Hurdle.


"Then finally I'll have to go with The New Lion in the Champion Hurdle, I suppose. I mean, if I could ride some of those horses at Cheltenham in the week…"



Priced up with Betfair at the time of writing, Majborough is odds-on at 4-5, with another JP McManus-owned star, Fact To File, a very short 1-2.


Bob Olinger, who accounts for three of Blackmore's Festival wins, is currently 6-1 for the Stayers' with The New Lion 11-4 for the Champion Hurdle, completing a 70-1 accumulator.


Blackmore also has a 20-1 each-way tip for Friday's feature, the Gold Cup. Speaking about a horse she rode to Festival success in the 2023 Ryanair Chase, Envoi Allen, she said: "It is an open Gold Cup.


"I think the Henry de Bromhead factor applies here. Can I see Envoi Allen winning? He's going to need a lot to kind of go wrong, not a lot, but he's going to need things to go wrong for others. Or does he?


"I can see him being a massive each-way bet. He's a fantastic each-way bet. I was only just chatting to Henry's head lad and he said he's in fantastic form at home and he's another horse that just peaks for Cheltenham. You could do a lot worse."
