I began reading the Thoroughbred series at the age of 12. I'm now 21 and stopped reading them when they started to make the transition from Cindy being the main character to Christina. The books simply became too formulaic and unrealistic (and I never did like Cindy anyway - sorry). But to this day, when I think of the Thoroughbred series this is the book I think of. Ashleigh and Wonder were the core and the heart of everything (to say nothing of the fact that they were the reason the series exists today) and this book was the culmination of their hard work and struggle. When I turned the last page and finished, I couldn't help but feel that if the series were to end there, I could let it go feeling satisfied that all was right with the world. So if you only read 4 books in the Thoroughbred series, make it the first 4 and laugh and cry along with Ashleigh, Charlie, Wonder, and family.

This book is so great,I have reread it at least 10 times....no kidding!It's really cool that Ashleigh goes from Kentucky Derby groom to Breeder's Cup Classic jockey![Yeah,I know, it's not likely in real life,but still cool!]Though this talks about the Prekness and Belmont,the Kentucky Derby is in # 3.This book is awesome and I highly recamend it!

This book is a real heartwarmer. It proves that through hard work and determination, your greatest dream can come true. Ashliegh's gumption pays off for her in the end with a stunning surprise!

why has no one reveiwed this book? I happen to have a copy and the book is very good. the story realy shows a horse (wounder) who loves her friend and life saver Ashiegh. the book was well writen and a good book.

This book was great!I was disappointed when Jilly broke her leg and couldn't ride Wonder in the Breeder's Cup Classic,but I was very happy when Ashleigh was going to ride her.At first I thought her parents would say no,but after Charlie talked to them,I knew they would have to say yes. I was scared that Ashleigh wouldn't know how to handle the situation that she and Wonder were in,but she did and went on to win the race.I wqas very happy when Mr.Townsend gave her part interest in Wonder at the end of the book.
