Reporter Esther Rantzen
Joan Barrow , a farmer's wife from the Cotswolds, goes into training for her first race under National Hunt rules. It is a dangerous and strenuous sport. To prepare herself Joan meets Sue Horton ,
Peter O'Sullevan , Richard Pitman , Graham Thorner and David Nicholson. They advise her how to tackle a race at Ayr, with an extraordinarily dramatic result.
