Produktinformationen "Manvers Road Star"
"A galloping good read" October, 1996: when 25-year-old Andy Cooper visits Colwick Park Racecourse, he falls in love with the place - and a bold idea is born. Using money from a large winning bet placed by his late dad, he buys a racehorse, gifting shares to his closest friends as a gesture of gratitude for their support during the darkest time of his life. They name the horse Manvers Road Star, after the betting shop where they all became friends. Together with 'Star's' trainer Ray Baldwin, Andy hatches a plot to win a race at Colwick Park the following spring. On the big day, disaster strikes when Ray discovers Star's right eye oozing poison. He tells Andy it will have to be removed or risk losing her, leaving his dreams in tatters - yet when he meets Ray to take Star out of training a few days later, something miraculous awaits him. Manvers Road Star is the heart warming sequel to Shouting The Odds, a story about friendship, resilience and the incredible bond between humans and horses.
