The image captures a pivotal moment during the Open Ladies Steeplechase held on a sunny Saturday in Glamorgan Hunt Point to Point on May 3rd, 1969. As the horses thunder towards the finishing line, it is Miss Gay Walker who takes charge atop her spirited mount, April Witch. With determination etched on her face and reins tightly gripped, she skillfully guides her steed ahead of Octroi ridden by Miss C Conley. The intense race ends with an electrifying finish as April Witch triumphs over Octroi by just a head's length.
