Minella Times - the horse Rachael Blackmore created history with when becoming the first woman to ride the winner of the Grand National - has been retired following a setback.

Trained by Henry de Bromhead, the 10-year-old was being prepared for the Aintree spectacular once more, but the problem is serious enough for him to miss the April date and as a result connections have called time on his career.
