When it's horse power you want, the lady jockeys can really give you a helping hand. Normally they have their hands full controlling just one horse. Today, nine of Britain's leading lady jockeys took the wheel, controlling 90 horse power each in racing cars at Brands Hatch. In this photo from April 5th, 1974, we see Meriel Tufnell getting a push into the pits. The 1970s was an era filled with hats, humor, and remarkable women breaking barriers in various sports. These talented jockeys showcased their skills not only on horses but also behind the wheels of powerful racecars. Dressed in vibrant silks that represented their respective teams or stables, these fierce competitors brought elegance and determination to motor sports. This image captures a unique moment where traditional equestrianism meets modern motorsport. The juxtaposition is striking as these skilled riders transitioned seamlessly from riding majestic steeds to maneuvering high-speed machines on the racetrack. While horsepower usually refers to equine strength and speed on the turf or track, here it takes on a whole new meaning as these exceptional women demonstrate their ability to handle immense mechanical force with finesse and precision. This photograph serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of female athletes who fearlessly shattered gender norms during an era when opportunities for women were limited. It celebrates both their athleticism and resilience while highlighting how they pushed boundaries within traditionally male-dominated fields.
