A true story about the famed racehorse who lost every race but won everyone's heart. The love Zippy inspired, even when he lost, resonates with the contemporary message that whether you win or you lose-you are enough! The bell rings and they're off! Zippy the racehorse--descended from legends--is destined for glory, but when the other horses bolt from the gate. . . Zippy stands still.
When people try to pet him. . . he bites their hats and escapes from his stall. What's an owner to do? Keep on trying! After all, Zippy has become part of Felix's family--and a close friend of his little daughter.
And after 100 straight losses, Zippy shows everyone that--win, lose, or draw--it takes guts to compete and that you can lose and lose and still be a winner.
