Yet another great book in the series! Wonder's preparing for her first race but the son's owner may be pushing Wonder too hard before she can even race. Ashleigh is there to look out for her though and this duo shine in another Thoroughbred book! (

A VERY good Thoroughbred book, that includes Brad messing things up once again. Wonderer is getting ready for his first race, she is doing well, and Ashleigh is very excited. But Brad is pushing her too hard, and insists on working her on an icy track, and Wonderer falls! Is her career over before it starts?? (

Is Wonder's racing career over before it begins?

Against all odds, Ashleigh Griffen's favorite racehorse, Wonder, has come through training with flying colors. Now Ashleigh and Wonder's trainer, Charlie, are putting everything they have into getting Wonder ready for the biggest race of her career: The Kentucky Derby. Then disaster strikes.

Brad Townsend, the son of Wonder's owner, insists on working Wonder one icy winter day. As Ashleigh and Charlie watch in horror, Brad gallops Wonder too fast, and the filly stumbles on the frozen track, badly injuring her shoulder.

After two years of hard work, have Wonder's chances been ruined in a split second?

Read Thoroughbred and experience the love and friendship between a determined girl and a very special filly.
