Long Shot

By Penny March

At seventeen, Ted Walker dreams of becoming a jockey. Raised on a farm and surrounded by thoroughbreds, racing has always been part of his life. For the past two years, he has struggled to tame an unruly colt, Crashout. Although the horse possesses raw speed and tremendous courage, he is more likely to attack another horse than race. Ted's task is made more difficult by his father, who is acquainted with the risks involved in racing and would rather get rid of Crashout than see his son's life in danger. And Ted's willingness to take chances to achieve his goal of winning the Breeder's Cup Juvenile threatens his relationship with his girlfriend, Scottie. Ultimately, Ted is forced to confront his fear of losing Crashout, his girlfriend, and even his life in order to show everyone that his willful, cast-off colt is a champion.
