For all the unfortunate horses who have never found that special person in their lives and who often, through no fault of their own, ended up at a merciless dead end auction, this story has been written. Fortunately, Smoky was one of the lucky ones, and his story proves as so many other similar stories have, that given half a chance, what tremendous rewards and achievements can occur. From an unruly, unwanted colt should arise such a phenomenal racehorse who broke almost every record in the Arabian Racing Books was something that no one could have ever imagined. Smoky was living proof of what a little luck, love, patience and determination could produce. The author has attempted to take the reader on the tumultuous journey that she and Smoky traveled from the day she first saw Smoky to his retirement from horse racing as the "One Eyed Wonder." some 11 years later. It is truly a "Cinderella" story to be enjoyed by anyone who loves animals.
