NO PLACE FOR A GIRL

A pioneering female jockey joins an exclusive boys club

- Karen Wiltshire with Nick Townsend

No Place for a Girl is the little-known but hugely inspirational story of pioneering woman jockey Karen Wiltshire and her fight for acceptance in the male-dominated world of 1970s horseracing.

There was a time when female professional jockeys were not welcome in British horseracing. But then one dauntless rider confronted the misogyny, prejudice and bullying she encountered both in the stables where she worked and on the racecourse, refused to accept that this environment was 'no place for a girl' and ultimately won her personal battle.
