A new chapter in the history of the Warwick Gold Cup Campdraft was written on Sunday when Clermont campdrafter Kerry Turner claimed victory.
Ms Turner, aged 46 years, is only the second female to win the Warwick Gold Cup, since Gertie Brook etched her name into the history book and claimed the title astride Popeye in 1951.
She was the 32nd competitor in the final round and achieved an aggregate score of 265.5 points.
Ms Turner claimed victory by half a point ahead of Pete Comiskey, Nebo, riding Harry who accumulated 265 points over the three rounds and was sitting on top of the leader board.
