Racing Manhattan by Terence Blacker

3.0

Jay lives with her aunt and uncle and their daughter at their stables. Usually Jay and her cousin Michaela are best friends, sharing a love of horses and racing. As they grow older, they get more distant and relations with her uncle, always tense, get worse as he tries to manipulate Jay and her horse jockey abilities to make some illegal money. Jay runs away and finds work at another stable where she falls in love with a misfit horse who has a lot of potential beneath his misunderstood and possibly dangerous exterior.

I liked the plucky girl character and all things horse. However, I don't have enough horse knowledge to know if the horse elements were accurate or not. They reminded me a lot of Dick Francis novels, though. Set in England.
