'I need to get a job' - Rachael Blackmore reveals all in hilarious social media post
She also confesses her 'pep talk' given to horses before a big race
Rachel Blackmore has posted a hilarious clip of her answering quick-fire questions on her Instagram story, like you've never seen her before.
The 35-year-old champion jockey who retired from the game last month looked stunning in a red dress while she pulled red slips of paper from a jar, answering questions which revealed some insights her fans always wanted to know.
What's your go to song for a motivational boost, what's going to happen at Royal Ascot and what are your plans for the future are just some of the questions she was asked and some of her answers may definitely surprise you.
The Tipperary native was taking part in The Time Trial by Me + Em, a British fashion designer that tied in with the Royal Ascot that kicks off today (Tuesday).
Answering as many questions as she could before the timer was up, Blackmore looked relaxed and ready to dive in.

"Old Thing Back", she answers immediately referring to the song by The Notorious B.I.G.

"This red ensemble", she says as she waved her hands down her dress.
Do you ever give a horse a pep talk before a race?
"No", she laughs, "I give him a pat, maybe sometimes, yeah. Maybe that's a secret pep talk."

Rachael takes a deep breath in and sits back. "Ooh, this has slowed me down", she says, "become a trillionaire, is there such a thing? That's a stupid answer."
She throws away the paper just as she's told she's out of time and sits back in her chair looking very relieved that it's all over.
