Black Gold by Marguerite Henry is the true story of a small but determined Thoroughbred racehorse who defied the odds to win the 1924 Kentucky Derby. Born to a blind mare and overlooked because of his size, Black Gold proved his speed and heart through perseverance. His devoted young jockey, Jaydee Mooney, believed in him from the start. Together, they overcame challenges in the racing world, showing that heart and determination can triumph over adversity. The book is a tribute to the spirit of both horse and rider.
