I found the melding of horse racing and the civil war very intriguing. I never contemplated thoroughbred horse racing and slavery. Other POV’s are added which enriched the story, although Jarret and Theo drive the plot. Albert’s father thinks that horses are ‘obstinate and stupid’. Can you think of synonyms for these words? Can you find any antonyms?

Joey's earliest memory is of being taken to the town marketplace with his mother while an auction that he did not fully understand took place around him. Two men bid feverishly against each other until the auctioneer brings down his hammer and Joey is led away. He has never been apart from his mother before, and he starts crying for her, hearing her cries for him becoming fainter as he is taken farther away.At the start of Chapter 6, the soldiers are feeling ‘buoyant with optimism’. What does this mean? Can you think of any other words / phrases to describe this feeling?
