Twelve-year-old Polly Canfield lives on her father's horse training farm near Saratoga Springs, New York, in the year 1925. Polly has recently become attached to Pretty Lady, a Thoroughbred horse that is being boarded on the farm. Pretty Lady was once a promising race horse, but has become skittish and unreliable after being mistreated. Polly knows if Pretty Lady was only given a chance, she could win the Travers Stakes, an important race horse in Saratoga. But Pretty Lady's wealthy owner, Mr. Harrington, has given up on the horse and decided to retire her. When Mr. Harrington takes Pretty Lady back to his estate, Polly sneaks over there to see the horse, and meets Mike, a stable boy. Soon Polly and Mike make a plan to retrain Pretty Lady and convince Mr. Harrington that she still has a chance to win the race. Young girls who love horse stories, especially those that have read other books from the Treasured Horses series, are sure to enjoy this book. It has a very cute story, and the historical setting adds a nice, old-fashioned touch to it.
