Kellopelikuningas by Magdalena Hai5/13/2023 ![]() In the Thoroughbred series, however, the characters are written well and they feel like real people with real problems and worries, which is the part I probably like the most. I'm not very much into thoroughbred racing due to many problems it has in real life (we don't even practice this branch of equestrian sport here in Finland, we have harness racing for trotters instead) but I have to admit there's something mesmerizing about it: the insane amount of money evolved, greed for fame and success and yet in the center of all it is this love between humans and equines even though it is a big cliché. In Finnish it was called Täyttä laukkaa ("cantering in full speed" or something, not a very good name even though it describes the story quite a well). Many horse fans quite surely will know what I'm talking about: it's quite a famous horse book series from the 90s, it seems. ![]() It is called simply Thoroughbred in English, in which language the series is written originally. But one series of horse stories was especially entertaining for me, though. ![]()
