Tuesday’s action at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club was headlined by Carlos Alcaraz‘s stylish straight-set win over Cameron Norrie.
Among the big names watching the match at Centre Court was Rachael Blackmore, who was there with pal Nicki Halley.
She shared pics from the “special day” at Wimbledon, complete with her sporting a navy jumpsuit from ME+EM worth €615.
The former jockey said: “Thank you Wimbledon for another special day of tennis
“Jump-suited by @me_andem thank you!”
In the comments, fans praised her outfit, with Niamh De Brun – wife of Kilkenny hurling icon TJ Reid – saying: “You look beautiful love this look”
Katherine Jenkins posted: “It was so lovely to sit next to you and meet your friend Nicki. Hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did!”
Lee McKenzie added: “I spied you before I was going to do the interview. Glad you had a great day x”
Another follower said: “Stunning Rachel” while someone else posted: “We love the glamour Rachel enjoy!”
And another commented: “It was so very lovely to meet you and Nicki yesterday! Love the jumpsuit looks amazing xx”
Rahcael Blackmore announced her shock retirement from horse racing on May 12, prompting a deluge of tributes to the trailblazing jockey.
The Tipperary rider, who completed the Cheltenham ‘big five’ earlier this year, had already expanded her career prospects beyond the saddle.
She wrote her first book – a children’s novel entitled ‘Granny National’ – earlier in March.
And the 35-year-old joked she’s trying to figure out her next job while previewing the Royal Ascot Festival.
She touched upon being at a real crossroads while partaking in a hilarious rapid-fire Q&A session ahead of Royal Ascot getting underway this afternoon.
Asked what’s the next thing in life that she wants to achieve, the Tipperary trailblazer laughed: “I’m retired so to find a new job.”
But in a conversation with Betfair, she ruled out becoming a mentor or coach to aspiring young jockeys being that new career path.
Asked what the future had in store, Blackmore said: “Even though retiring was probably a feeling inside me that I had kind of dampened down, it wasn’t part of a massive plan to retire that Saturday.
“There is nothing set up but I am very lucky that I can take a few weeks and decide what might be next.
“It will be a very different life to the one I had previously.”
