Do Christina and Star have what it takes to win the third jewel in the Triple Crown?
As the third race in the Triple Crown approaches, the competition for Christina Reese and her horse, Wonder’s Star, is getting tougher. Christina is nervous and she’s afraid the pressure is affecting Star’s concentration. But the tension unexpectedly eases when Christina meets a jockey familiar with the legendary 1977 Triple Crown winner, Seattle Slew. It seems Star and Seattle Slew have lots in common. Buoyed by the jockey’s invaluable advice – and the support of her family and friends – Christina feels ready to win at Belmont! The question is will Star come through?

One of the best!! This was a great book!! It was mainly about Christina and Star getting ready for (and WINNING) the Belmont. But this book also talks about Chris and Mel renewing their friendship, Chris’s future, Chris and Parker’s relationship (I think they’re getting back together and they should), and some drama at the track! I couldn’t stop reading it and I finished it in 2 days! Great book, I can’t wait for the next one!!
Much, much, MUCH better I found this book in [a local store] and I knew(from the spoilers that I read :o) that I had to get it. It sounded soooooo much better then they have been.Â
Awesome!! This a great addition to the TB series. The cover isn’t one of the series’s best, but never judge a book by its cover, right? Anyway, in the book, Star races in the Belmont and Christina graduates. Christina starts to worry about her future-should she stay a jockey like Vince Jones suggests or should she go to college to become a veterinarian and help the animals she loves like Cindy and Dani suggest? (this topic is stressed more in the TB book #60 Taking the Reins that has not come out yet)…
