What happens

Laura and Bunny enter the Hero Township horse race, going up against Nellie and her expensive thoroughbred. Mrs. Oleson is sure her daughter can't lose.

Laura's nerves are shaky until Pa gives her the pep talk she needs. On race day, Nellie's overconfidence sets up a nail-biter finish. Pure Little House fun.
