great book

This is a great book it introduces Parker. A lot of things happen. Parker gets a horse called Foxy.If your going to buy a thoroughbred book buy this one.

Racing PArker...a good book but...

hey, i luv horses of all kinds and have been devoted to the thoroughbred series since it 1st came out...a VERY good book, full of suspense!

BEST THOROUGHBRED BOOK EVER!!!

"Racing Parker" was definately the best tb "christina" book!! I like the fact that they can concentrate on all the problem that real riders have like when Christina's instructor didn't want her to ride training level and she did it anyway and that's what most real teenagers would've done!!!It was exciting to hear that Christina also have normal teenage problem that doen't have anything to do with horses like liking to boys and the jealousy between them!! The book was absalutely fabulous and if you don't have it yet just remember, you won't be able to live without Christina's exciting adventures for long!!

Great Book!

I really loved this book! I like the entire Thoroughbred series, but I have especially enjoyed te books about Christina, since I can relate to her riding disipline better than I can to racing (I'm only fourteen, but am also an eventer and just moved up to training level in June with my Connemara gelding, Irish Lad). I like Parker because he seems more mature than the rest of the characters, and because he's managed to become a nice person despite the wealth and snobbish attitude of his parents. Joanna Campbell is a great author, and although the past several books have been pretty good (the authors have done a great job!), I (and many other readers) would love it if Ms. Campbell came back to writing the series. P.S. I also reccomend Thoroughbred books 24 through 33 (the ones on eventing), and the rest of the series.
