| Summary | "Bred in the Bone" by Thomas Nelson Page is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of horse racing culture, the story revolves around the anticipation and excitement of a significant steeplechase event at an esteemed racecourse. At its core, the book explores themes of heritage, ambition, and the relationship between a mentor and his protégé, highlighting the impact of the past on the present. The narrative follows Old Man Robin, a seasoned horse trainer, and his relationship with Theodoric "Theo" Johnston, the grandson of his former master, who arrives with a raw-boned colt named "J.D." Robin, initially skeptical of the horse's potential, soon realizes its impressive lineage and capabilities. Their bond deepens as they prepare for the big race, symbolizing a connection to the prestigious past of horse racing that Robin cherishes. Despite facing ridicule and doubt from others, Theo rides "J.D." through a series of challenges during the steeplechase, ultimately showcasing both the horse's and his own talent. The thrilling climax crescendos at the race, where themes of skill, perseverance, and familial pride intertwine, resulting in unexpected outcomes that challenge perceptions about worth and legacy.
