  <default_description>No one thinks much of Black Gold because he is so small. But Jaydee sees something special in his eyes. He knows Black Gold would be great if &lt;I&gt;he&lt;/I&gt; &lt;P&gt;was his rider! Finally, Jaydee gets his wish. And Black Gold grows strong and fast under his careful hands. Soon it would be time for the most important &lt;P&gt;race in America. Did they really have what it takes to win? Black Gold's inspirational story proves &lt;P&gt;that the power of love and dedication can make any dream come true.&lt;P&gt;Set against the thrilling and colorful world of Thoroughbred horses, &lt;I&gt;Black Gold&lt;/I&gt; is the true &lt;P&gt;story of this legendary horse and his determined young jockey.&lt;P&gt;</default_description>
