Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. After Caroline's accident the Townsends sent her two dozen what?

Answer: roses

The Townsend family sent Caroline two dozen roses with a note saying 'With our wishes for a speedy recovery, The Townsends'. Caroline was furious and shredded them and threw them all over the room.
2. What is Brad Townsend's middle initial?

Answer: H

Only mentioned once in the series. Caroline notoriously exclaims that she is done with Brad forever. After destroying the roses she announces to Ashleigh, "Well, goodbye, Mr. Bradley H. Townsend!".
3. Who won the Breeder's Cup Juvenile the fall of Wonder's two year old season?

Answer: Townsend Prince

Townsend Prince was beginning his campaign as the winner everyone felt him to be as a dominant race horse. He easily put the field in the Juvenile away plastering himself and Brad over the sports pages of the paper. It infuriated Ashleigh and Caroline to look at Townsend Prince, Brad, and his new girlfriend, Melinda Westwood in the winners circle.
4. Brad threatened to do what after Ashleigh bad-mouthed him over her sister?

Answer: Take the filly's training away from Ashleigh and Charlie

After Caroline's car accident Brad has shown little sorrow over the situation. It wasn't his fault that she was so attached, but he could have been nicer and more tactful about his breakup and sudden relationship with Melinda. Ashleigh let Brad have a piece of her mind one day in the barn aisle which resulted in Brad threatening to take Wonder's training away from her and Charlie. Brad said, "Maybe my father has a soft spot, but the rest of us don't... You and Charlie won't be working with that filly much longer."
5. After Brad carries out his threat what prevents Jilly from working the filly?

Answer: She gets sick and has to stay in bed

Brad does indeed carry out his threat and has Ashleigh removed as Wonder's regular rider. Clay Townsend does see the need for a different style of riding and says that Jilly will be assigned to ride Wonder. This only works if Jilly is healthy and not laying bed with a cold.
6. While Jilly is unable to ride Wonder, who takes her out for a workout against Charlie's wishes?

Answer: Brad Townsend

Its a cold day and the track is very hard despite the groundsmen taking a harrow over it. With Jilly laid up, Charlie opts to give Wonder the day off. Brad takes the opportunity to take the filly out against Charlie's wishes which results in disaster.
7. What injury does Wonder suffer during a workout on a very cold winter day?

Answer: pulled shoulder muscle

Due to Brad's stupidity, Wonder suffers a pulled shoulder muscle and is kept out of training for weeks.
8. Much to her friends' envy and jealousy, Ashleigh meets whom at a Henry Clay basketball game where they strike up a huge conversation about horse racing?

Answer: Chad McGowen and Mike Reese

Ashleigh goes to a basketball game at her school and happens to sit next to Chad McGowan who is into training race horses. Chad's friend Mike Reese is also into horse racing and one of the cutest boys in Ashleigh's class. Mike's dad owns Whitebrook Farm where they keep a growing string of horses.

They strike up a huge conversation which includes the offer from Ashleigh for them to come to Townsend Acres and pick Charlie's brain.
9. Wonder's final prep race for the Kentucky Derby is the Bluegrass Stakes, and she wins it decisively.

Answer: False

Wonder is over raced early in her three year old season because of Mr. Townsend unknowingly being pushed by his son's hatred for Charlie and Ashleigh. Wonder is exhausted after a poor effort in the Bluegrass. The outlook is terrible for the Derby in three weeks time.
10. Who wins the Kentucky Derby during Wonder's three year old season?

Answer: Ashleigh's Wonder

Wonder and Jilly put to rest all doubt surrounding filly. She finally became a superstar. Townsend Prince was undefeated until his loss to his half sister Wonder in the Derby that day. Clay Townsend was overjoyed to have Townsend Acres' horses come in first and second on Derby Day but still had a giant blind spot where his son's character was concerned.
