Summary: Image's Derby Day
Review: I just finished Faith in a long shot and I must say that this was one of the best books in the series. Things are deffinetly looking up. In the book, Image wins the Ashland Stakes, so Jazz and melanie announce to the woorld that Image will deffinetly be running in the Derby. Christina, Mike and Ashleigh all give Melanie the cold shoulder because they want Star to win the Derby, not Image. Melanie can't take the pressue of the Derby so she stays at Townsend Acres which I couldn't believe, Brad was the nice guy! Also, Jazz gets his own colors for Image! (Also, things are looking up for both Melanie and Jazz and Parker and Christina get back together!)

Summary: the series is looking up...
Review: I loved this book! Although I enjoy all the Thoroughbred books, this one especially stood out in my mind. It was really surprising - it kept me "on the edge of my seat" the entire time. I seriously did not get up until I finished the book! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes the Thoroughbred series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Derby was the best
Review: I think that this book was a jolly good lift to the series. I've been reading the Thoroughbred books lately, and the last few were a little bolicks. The Derby was a brilliant race, and I'm glad that Image won because the deserved it. It also had a twist in it when Image broke her leg. That part was sad. The only down side to the book was the fact that Chris was being a real jerk, and I wish that she'd smarten up a little.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome-the best
Review: If you're reading this and you HAVEN'T read the book, do not keep reading my review, it will give it away. Anyway, this is the Derby book. I have to admit, I was EXTREMELY dissapointed like a lot of people. I really wanted Star to win. It's just I've never had a liking for Image and Melanie. Wonder was Holly's last foal and she barely made it. Same with Star except with Wonder.

But it was still a good book. It showed proof that deep down, Brad isn't so bad. I mean, his father isn't bad and his son isn't bad, so I don't think his "badness" is real. It was surprising and it looked like the ending would be very sad, but it turned out fine.

Overall, it was a good book, but I'm still very dissapointed that Star didn't win. Hehe, and if you haven't read the book and you read through my review, I'm very sorry because I just gave the Derby winner away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The next Ruffian!!!
Review: This book did very well by adding a slight twist to the series, but it wasn't my favorite because I don't think Star should have lost so badly. I also am not really fond of Melanie anymore. Once she and Christina started fighting, I began losing interest in her character because Christina has been pretty much my fave (along with Parker).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS SUCH A GOOD BOOK!!!!
Review: This book was so good! It was about the Kentucky Derby, what do ya know! :) One reason why I really liked this book it because it doesn't have a lot of dating in it. Finally! One reason I disliked it was because Brad was NICE! Can you beleive it! I mean, it good that he's being nice, but he isn't supposed to be! He's supposed to be arrogant! Anyway, besides that this book was really good! Here is what it's about:
When Image comes in second in the Florida Derby Melanie and Jazz are overjoyed. With high hopes, they decide to enter her to race in the Kentucky Derby. Image proved in the Florida Derby she has what it takes to win against colts. But her competition at the derby will be really tough. Image will be running against Christina's Wonder's Star, Cindy's Gratis, and Brad's Celtic Mist. Winning the race is a long shot. To add to the presure the racing reporters are making a huge deal because a filly and a girl are racing in the Derby. Ashleigh and Mike, Melanie's Aunt and Uncle who own Whitebroook farm where Melanie lives, get frusterated and annoyed because the phone starts ringing off the hook and reporters attack the farm. Does Melanie have enough faith in Image, and herself, to make her derby dreams come true? Read the book to find out what happens in the Kentucky Derby! (the book doesn't end at the KD though, it has a really cool ending)
