What is the main conflict in the rocking horse winner

The main conflict in "The Rocking-Horse Winner" relates to the fact that the family does not have enough money for their wants and desires. This desire for more money lies at the heart of all of the conflict that occurs in the story itself.

Explanation:

In my opinion, the climax of the story is when little Paul rides and rides and finally has the winner to The Derby. His mother rushes home, unusually concerned for him, to find Paul, "in his green pyjamas, madly surging on the rocking-horse." ... It depends on what you label as the climax of the story.
