5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Story of a Courageous Horse, October 24, 2001
This review is from: Black Gold (Hardcover)
I first read this book when I was ten years old -- many many years ago. It was the first book I cried over, and while reading the other reviews, I find I was not the only one who cried about this story of a beautiful and courageous race horse. One of of my all-time children's classics!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Horse Story, December 28, 2005
A Kid's Review
It was great! I loved how it was Real and how U-See-It's colt (Black Gold) was able to get back in raceing, and how the trainer and the jockey kept their hearts up when there was bad time. It was a great book. I read it really carefully that how good it was! I recomend this book to everyone, even non- horselovers. Really read it, i mean it. P.S it was a ture story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A kids review, August 28, 2005
By Coliwobbles (Colombia) - See all my reviews
I felt very sad reading this book because all the story characters died. But I liked the book alot because Black Gold won a lot of races and you see it. My favorite part was when You See It had her colt Black Gold.
