Description
Ann Grebauer is an astonishing woman with two overwhelming passions: one Sam Cumberland, son and heir to one of America’s greatest racing families; the other the magnificent thoroughbreds that she breeds and races.
Born into brutal poverty, Annie runs away from home at fifteen and makes her way to Belmont race track, where her education as a horsewoman begins, first as a ‘hot-walker’ then as a groom. The Cumberlands also race their horses at Belmont, and despite the differences between them, Sam and Annie are drawn inexorably together. From the breeding farms of America to the great racetracks of France, England and Ireland, Annie follows her twin obsessions and must call on all her beauty, courage and instinctive skill with horses to win through…
