Description
America, the 1930s. The Great Depression is in full swing: the country is enduring its worst economic collapse, and for people worn down by hopelessness, racetracks—with their fast-paced races and unpredictable outcomes—become a rare source of hope and excitement. That’s where the future sensation of newspapers and radio stations appears: an inconspicuous horse named Sukharnik—an obstinate, distinctive animal, and, to make matters worse, lame in one leg.
His owner is the automobile magnate Charles Howard; his trainer is a reclusive loner, Tom Smith; and his jockey is a former star, Pollard, whose health has been seriously damaged. It’s almost impossible to believe in the success of this strange team: who would think to place a bet on a lame horse with a sick rider? But Sukharnik proves the opposite again and again—race after race, he becomes the public’s favorite and a symbol that the impossible can indeed become real.
Will this plain-looking horse outdo an undisputed favorite and take the main prize of the races—the “Hundred-Thousander”? Find out in Laura Hillenbrand’s book: a story based on real events that became a major bestseller in the United States.
