There is a lottery about to be held, the prize being "The Piebald," and undisciplined and seemingly useless horse. Mi recognizes in Velvet the same spirit which had given her mother the will to succeed. Velvet's family has little patience with her dreams of glory except for her mother, who swam the English Channel when she was younger, and knows that one must stretch one's abilities to capture the wildest hopes and Mi Taylor, whose love of horses matches Velvet's own. Someday she too will enter this most grueling and difficult of races.
Day and night she talks of horses the sleek beautiful animals who have the courage and stamina to win in England's famous Grand National.
Velvet Brown is a little girl with a big dream.
