Don Frazier,s THE WILL JAMES BOOKS, p. 130 says,"This is Will James' final novel and it is a nice one. The central theme horses win in their respective fields, and the rancher's daughter actually marries the cowboy and before the end of the story too! Although the book is certainly a novel, each chapter has a title, and most could stand alone as separate short stories with little or no change."
