M.T In the beginning of the book Alec Ramsey goes on the Drake (a boat to get to New York) and the boat started to sink and while the boat was sinking, Alec got saved by a huge stallion. The Black(the stallion) brought Alec to a random island. On the island, Alec got the ride of his life! Then a few days later a boat came to save Alec and the Black. Then when Alec and the black got to New York, the Black and another stallion got in a fight. The other stallion was a chestnut color. When Alec got home, ( to his house) he went to his neighbors house and asked if Alec could use their barn. When Ale c's neighbor Henry saw the Black, he knew right away that the Back could race in the match race between Cyclone and Sun Raider. Every morning at 2:00, Henry took the Black and Alec to a track that Henry's friend Jake worked at. Then after a lot of training, Alec, Henry, and the Black went to the match race between Cyclone and Sun Raider in Chicago. When the match race was about to start, Sun Raider kicked the Black and the Black started to bleed. Then when the match race started the Black had to stay behind and then the Black started to race the other horses so that the Black could win. Then the Black won the match race. I would recommend this book to other people.

On his way from India to New York, Alec Ramsey gets swept off the Drake (a ship that he was traveling on). He holds onto a horse that was on the boat and makes it to a deserted island. He is on the island for 16 days until he is rescued. When he gets on the rescue ship the crew takes him to Rio. As Alec gets off he wonders what he will do with the horse. A crew member says he is built for speed. Alec wants to train the stallion to be a racer when he gets back to New York. Will Alec get him into a race? Read the book to find out.

I really liked this book because the book is very heart warming.
