Plot Summary of Wonder's Victory
"   In her second year of racing, Wonder, the Thoroughbred filly Ashleigh Griffen has helped raise, is the star of Townsend Acres Stables--until the worst happens.
   Just as Wonder is about to start racing in the Breeder's Cup race, Jilly, Wonder's regualar jocky, is injured and can't ride. Wonder doesn't like any other jocky, and she won't perform.
   Only one person can ride Wonder now, and that's Ashleigh. She's never ridden in a race, but she's Townsend Acres' only hope. Can Ashleigh's dreams and Wonder's trust carry these two unlikely contestants into the winner's circle? "

Ruth Miller, Resident Scholar
