"The true story that inspired a major motion picture"--cover.
Penny Chenery is a woman with a dream. Following her father's illness, her beloved Meadow Stables is facing closure. Even though she has little experience of racing thoroughbreds, Penny is determined to turn its fortunes around. But to manage a prominent stable needs a set of professional skills as well as a certain touch. With the help of the charismatic Lucien Laurin and the fateful toss of a coin, Penny finds herself the owner of a bright red chestnut colt, Secretariat. Against all odds and with Laurin's guidance, Penny navigates the male dominated world of horse racing, ultimately guiding the fortunes of America's first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and the racehorse that many consider to be the greatest of all time.
