In this delightful true account of King Ranch’s Triple Crown champion racehorse, Marjorie Parker involves her young readers in the life of the Texas Thoroughbred "who ran on three hooves and a heart." Along with electrifying racing, this story gives an inside look at life on the historic King Ranch and recaptures life in another era through the eyes of a noble horse who never gave up.
