how one woman's love for a racehorse led to her redemption
Jo Anne Normile fell in love with a thoroughbred foal born into her arms. The breeder said she could keep the colt but only if she raced him. So Jo Anne named the colt "Baby" and set out to keep her promise when he was old enough. Jo Anne fell hard for the "sport of kings" but under the magic she saw all the bad things. For every Seabiscuit there are tens of thousands of racehorses whose lives end in pain and despair because of the indifference and corruption that runs rampant through the world of horse racing. When Jo Anne experienced an accident on a poorly maintained tract, she knew she had to found the most successful horse rescue in the country---an organization that would go on to save more horses than anyone else ever had.
