Rachael Blackmore claims her FIFTH victory of the week at Cheltenham as Telmesomethinggirl powers home to comfortably win the Parnell Properties Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle
Rachael Blackmore claimed winner number five of the meeting with a sublime ride aboard Telmesomethinggirl in the Parnell Properties Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle.
After sitting towards the rear in the early stages, Telmesomethinggirl (5-1) made eyecatching progress on the run to the penultimate flight before accelerating past fellow Henry de Bromhead-trained runner Magic Daze, who had set out to make all.
Telmesomethinggirl fairly flew up the Cheltenham hill to beat her stable companion by five and a half lengths. Mighty Blue was third with bargain-buy Skyace – who cost just £600 – finishing fourth.

‘This is overwhelming to be honest. Unbelievable,’ winning jockey Blackmore told ITV Racing.
‘Henry’s done an unbelievable job with her, he always thought a lot of her and she showed it today, she’s got speed, settled better than she’s done before.
‘I wish I could give you something good, I’m genuinely overwhelmed over these last couple of days.’
