Thirteen-year-old Danielle Connor feels nothing but rage toward Alec Ramsay, the famous young jockey who has turned her family's farm into a training facility for his Thoroughbred racehorses, including the legendary Black. Now Danielle's family has to move and her beloved horse, Redman, has been sold. Even after Alec introduces her to a special black colt, Danielle remains determined to be reunited with Redman...at any cost.
