Over 76 years after the release of that MGM chestnut now owned by Warners...

...and over ten years after the passing of Elizabeth Taylor...

...a real-life woman, Rachael Blackmore from County Tipperary, Ireland, 
becomes the first woman to win the Grand National steeplechase.

"Riding on the 11-1 shot Minella Times, [she] delivered a perfect race, 
biding her time early on before gradually creeping up into contention as 
the race entered its second circuit. 

Riding on the eight-year-old, [they] took the lead with two to go before 
galloping clear to win by a resounding six lengths."
