Toby is eleven and small for his age. Both he and his horse-mad friend Maddy are enthralled when his grandpa comes to stay because Grandpa used to hang out at the stables of the great Phar Lap as a kid!
When grandpa tells him the thrilling story of the legendary horse, Toby is determined to become a jockey, no longer bothered by his small physique.
