Summary:

Jo Anne Normile was not supposed to keep the foal, but she fell in love with the young horse, who had literally been born into her arms. The breeder finally said she could keep the colt, whom she nicknamed "Baby", but only if she raced him. She experienced a thrill every time Baby sprinted around the track, edging out other horses. But the magic that enchants is a veneer. For every Seabiscuit, there are tens of thousands of racehorses whose lives end in pain and despair, with indifference and corruption that runs rampant through the world of horse racing. Normile knew none of this, not until an accident on a poorly maintained track. That's when Normile founded the most successful horse rescue in the country, an organization that would go on to save more horses than anyone else ever had.
