5.0 out of 5 stars Wonder's Champion is the best!, May 27, 2002

This book is so awesome! Whitebrook has been wanting a triple Crown winner for, like, so long! Wonder won the Derby and the Belmont, and Pride won the Derby and Preakness, but they have never bred and trained a Triple Crown Winner. Until Wonder's Champion. Cindy helps Champion to over come his problems with other horses, and it pays off! after battling through temperment problems and a hoof injury, Champion shows the world that he truly is his name. U have to read this book!

1.0 out of 5 stars It just doesn't work, January 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wonder's Champion (Thoroughbred Series #21) (Paperback)

How come when Karen Bentley finally writes a book with a horse running in the Triple Crown the horse wins all three races???? Besides, in the previous books the author can't even get the basic facts right. She calls Wonder's Pride, Townsend Pride, but Townsend Pride was Wonder's sire. Then, Ashleigh keeps saying that Brad had Wonder whipped so that she wouldn't run in her early training. It was actually Wonder's rider,Jocko, who was riding how her early trainer, Jim Jennings, wanted him to ride. Also, when they were having to find a jockey for Glory and later on Honor, why didn't they just ask Jilly? What's up with this missing character thing? Whatever happened to Precocious, Sierra, Fleeting Moment, Jilly, the Townsends, and the others. See what I mean? This series has really gone downhill. -M.D.
