A Horse Called Bonnie

"We Won't Let a Girl Ride!" The leader of the delegation of jockeys averted his eyes from Julie as he spoke, but there was no wavering in his voice. The jockeys would boycott the big race rather than let Julie Jefferson ride as a jockey against them. Julie heard those words like the voice of doom itself. After a cruel beating by a bad rider, Bonnie would run well only for her. Julie had defied all prejudices to win her jockey's license - and now, this. Should she defy the jockeys and ruin the entire race? Should she let another rider ride Bonnie and risk a humiliating defeat? Or was there another last desperate card she could play? Julie had to decide fast-the clock was running out!
