Publisher's Synopsis
Ages 9 to 12 years. How would a small, stumbling colt with the tough name "Assault" tell his own story of courage and victory? In this delightful true account of King Ranch's champion racehorse, Marjorie Parker involves her young readers in the life of the Texas Thoroughbred who ran on two hooves and a heart, becoming one of only 11 horses ever to capture the coveted Triple Crown. Along with electrifying racing, this story gives an inside look at life on the historic King Ranch and recaptures life in another era through the eyes of a noble horse who never gave up.
