Cheer 'til you're horse!

Shattered illusions are hard to repair -- especially for a good-hearted zebra named Stripes who's spent his life on a Kentucky farm amidst the sorely mistaken notion that he's a debonair thoroughbred. Once he faces the fact that his stark stripes mark him as different, he decides he'll race anyway. And with help from the young girl who raised him, he just might end up in the winner's circle.
In Racing Stripes, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “zebra racetrack”. The story fights on E8/E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, identity, ambition, tradition, competition.
