I have to agree with everyone, the books are hard to write. I have written 3 short stories, titled- "The Black Colt", "You Killed My Sister, the Devil Shall Kill You", and the third isn't titled yet.Also, these books do haev some mistakes in them. Like when Princess got hurt and in book #16, page38 and 39, last line on pg 38 and 1st 3 paragraphs on 93 were saying that Ashleigh didn't want to ride another horse in the Derby except for Princess, but Ashleigh was NOT Princess's jockey. There were a lot of mistakes in all of the "new" books, expecially the "newer" ones- like 23 and up.all in all this book was ok, though very predictialbe. The only charater that I don't like is Christina- but only at times.hopefully the books will get better. If anyone wants to talk bout them e-mail me at LuvTBracin@aol.com (love thoroughbred racing)
