Suggest my story to a friend

If i had to suggest this book, King of the Wind, to a friend; I would say it's mostly about horse racing. At the beginning the book was about the fastest horse around, from Canada, named Sir Barton. Sir Barton was predicted to win the race. But Man O' War, from America, won the race and no one seen that coming. I haven't really got into the good part of the book but that's how far I got.
