A GIRL, A HORSE, A DREAM, tells the epic story of a female jockey and her extraordinary battle to compete with men on the track. Horse racing is one of the only mainstream sports in which men and women compete equally... or so the theory goes. The narrative focuses on a year in the life of Bernadette Cooper, the top female jockey in Australia, as she claws her way to the top in a field of men and competes for victory in Australia's richest races. Funny, pretty, articulate and full of joie de vivre, Bernadette's a force of nature.
