Now she’s accidentally bought a racehorse. Perhaps her Derby dream might come true after all! Noble Warrior certainly looks the part: strong, fit and healthy. Charlie even has a jockey lined up: her talented friend Joe. There’s just one problem. Noble Warrior won’t gallop. He won’t even trot around his field.
