Pétronille Wins the Grand Steeple Chase 1913 Directed by Romeo Bosetti Pétronille gagne le grand prix
Pétronille's husband jockey, Tortillard, face-plants in the middle of the track. She puts on his clothes and mount his steed, “despite her rotund build” at 100 kilos. She leads the other riders on an off-track equestrian escapade, eventually making it back to the course.
