Its turning into a year of firsts for sixteen-year-old Trish Evanston. First race, first win, first trip to California and now, the first female to win the Kentucky Derby. What a feeling to hear the cheering spectators and to take the victory bow! She and her father's dream has come true, and Trish feels butterflies as she thinks about their chance to win the Triple Crown of thoroughbred horse racing in the upcoming weeks. And then there's Red, the jockey Trish met in Kentucky!
So many things are going so well for Trish, but the road that leads to the final race at Belmont park is filled with untold adversity and near tragedy. Although Spitfire has lived up to his name and become a world-class horse, he and Trish have yet to meet their biggest challenge. And despite the chemotherapy, Trish's father is growing weaker and his cancer has spread.
Her father taught her courage. Will it be there when they need it?
This one is for her dad!
