I really thought this book was great but whatever happend to Glory? I mean in one book Glory is there but in the next one he is gone. Well I need to get down to the point here this book was well writen and it described Champion and the racetracks so well I thought that I was Cindy and also that I was right there at the racetrack aswell.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Champion's Spirit (Thoroughbred Series #20) (Paperback)

In Champions Spirit, Wonders Champion has just started his racing career. Wonders Champion was one of Ashleighs Wonders foals. Ashleighs Wonder was one of the best racehorses in her old racing days. And now she passed her talent to her foals:Wonder Pride, Townsend Princess, Mr.Wonderful, and now Wonders Champion has Wonders talent. But Champion is hard to handle. Unlike his brothers and sister, Champion has strong likes and dislikes, goes after the other horses in the walking ring and balks at the gate. Champion is almost perfect when he runs though. After Storms Ransoms death, Cindy Mclean has missed the grey colt terribiely. Cindy mclean has watched some of the best racehorses Whitebrook Farm grow up. Cindy has grew a bond with the famous track breaking record March To Glory, the amazing Sprinter Storms Ransom, and now will Cindy show that love again for Champion when Storm is dead. Cindy Mclean has watched the beautiful colt grow up into a beautiful racer. The only problem is Champions behavior. The track stewards tell Ashleigh Griffen, Champions jockey, trainer, and half owner and Mike Reese, Ashleighs husband that if Champion doesnt start to behave, they will have to disqualify Champion from his races. Cindy, his groom knows the colt could be a champion if he was given the chance. But will Cindy getover Stroms death to help a unperdactble colt become a champion like his family? find out in Champions Spirit. Or email me at [e-mail]

4.0 out of 5 stars There Has been a lot better in the TB series!, September 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Champion's Spirit (Thoroughbred Series #20) (Paperback)

I love the TB series and I wanted to be a jockey when I grew up (I'm too big), and this series was my favorite since it first came out. But in this book, I think there should be more of Glory. Has Cindy forgotten him or something? But I'm sure Karen and Joanna mean't for it to be a better book, and I still liked it!
