Loved It!

But I seem to have lost my copy. This really is a good story.

Bred to Win

This book was given to my mother by her mother when the book hit the stands. I read it for the first time in 1996. Since then I have read it 3 other times and I am currently starting it again. Even though I have read it so many times and I remember the different ups and downs of the story it is still an awesome book to read in repitition. This is the perfect story in deplicting that no matter what back ground you come from if you want something bad enough and your willing to do what it takes to get there, there is no stopping you. I have to say out of all the novels i have read in my life (quite a few, i love to read anything with termoil) this one remains my favorite and probably always will.

TOTALLY AWESOME

I read this book a long time ago and to this day I remember it as my favorite!! Sure wish he would write another!! I still remember riding in the car, reading with tears flowing down my face. Please read this book, you won't be sorry!

Wonderful Book

Superb, Factual, Entertaining. This book is a great read. There seems to be a little bit of everything in the plot and it really grabs you. The character is well developed and suprisingly easy to relate to. Definitely recommended!

For horse-lovers...

It's a shame that this book is no longer readily available. It's one of the most entertaining stories I've read in a long time. The author really did his homework concerning thoroughbred horse racing. It is its own private world, not easily accessable to the general public. William Kinsolving did a wonderful job of weaving the factual world of racing and the fictional world of the characters together.
