The heart questions what Alex cannot
Alex knows two things are true:
Horse racing is everything, and she loves it hard-- the way she loves Dejado Augustun.
But when her best friend, Caroline Daves starts dating Johnathan North, Alex is forced to realize the extent of her feelings.
When Alex scores berths into The Breeders Cup aboard Dreamer's Song and Venus Nights, she discovers she may have to choose between them. But how can she choose between the filly she brought into the world, and the headstrong colt who is teaching her so much about the sport she loves?
When life rides you hard, be the dark horse
Just when Alex could hardly stand waiting another second to test for her jockey license, a brutal attack sends her spiraling into a depression. She's a failure as a person, a rider, and friend.
Even Dejado and Carol can't seem to reach her.
Can they help her pull through, and realize her potential in time to get Venus Nights ready for her first race?
Alex is almost fifteen and convinced she's ready to train for jockeyhood. Only one man stands in her way: North Oak's gruff old trainer, Joe Hendricks.
Joe doesn't think Alex can handle the demands of being a real rider-- she's reckless, doesn't follow instructions, and is not exactly humble.
Dejado Augustun, on the other hand, is already licensed to ride, does as he's asked, and does it well.
He drives Alex nuts.
No way can this Dejado guy be a match for Promenade in the upcoming Breeders Cup Juvenile. It would be easier to hate him if he weren't so darn nice. Worst of all for Alex, he likes her, and Promenade likes him.
Can Alex overcome her pride and realize she may not be the rider Promenade needs?
Can Alex & Brooke help Morning Glory overcome her racing slump?
When a terrible accident shakes the Showmans, Alex finds herself questioning her place in the family. Feeling like a second-class citizen, she turns once again to find her solace in horse racing.
With a new filly to manage with Brooke, and Venus Galaxies's first foal on the way, the girls must rely on each other to make things work out.
But will a handsome, foreign newcomer split them apart once again?
On the heels of Joanna Campbell's beloved Thoroughbred Series, and Walter Farley's Black Stallion, comes a brand new young adult horse racing series that will sweep you away like a runaway Thoroughbred.
