Charlotte Brew is the correct answer of course! In 1977, at the age of 21, Charlotte Brew became the first woman to ride in the Grand National. Brew and 200-1 shot Barony Fort were tailed off by the halfway stage but kept going until the horse eventually refused four fences from home. Today, as Charlotte Budd, she runs a catering company in Somerset.
National Velvet (staring a young Elizabeth Taylor as Velvet Brown) is a film about a young girl entering the National with a horse she won in a raffle. In the film the horse is of chestnut colour, but in the book he was piebald hence he was called 'The Pie'.
