A Cup for Janet — Emily Thorne

Janet Sayre had been riding since she was six -- at the time when the Kentucky stables of the Sayre family had been filled with race horses. Now, the Sayre fortune gone, there were five horses left, and only one of them, a chestnut colt with any hope of being a candidate from the Derby.

To Janet, it seemed the greatest stroke of luck when Tom Sheridan, who knew nothing about horses but who had inherited a string of thoroughbreds, came to Major Sayre, Janet grandfather, and received permission to bring his horses to the stables at Blue Meadow.

No one could possibly have foreseen all the excitement that followed…least of all, Janet.
