Nina Carberry became the second female jockey to ever win the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday.

Carberry timed her race perfectly on County Down owned horse Organisedconfusion.

The inexperienced six year old horse is owned by the Dunlop family of Belcoo and is trained by Carberry's uncle Arthur Moore.

Ulster Grand National winner Hughies Grey helped to set the pace up the half way mark.

And up to the second last, Tony McCoy on Quantitativeeasing, was still in contention.

But Organisedconfusion finished five lengths ahead of second placed Western Charmer and Sunnyhillboy came in third.
