Title: Blue Ribbon Romance
Author: Jane S. McIlvaine
Cover artist: Uncredited
Yours for: $7
Best things about this cover:
- "Copper's Chance" makes this sound like an entirely different (and more interesting) book. I imagine that one or more coppers are chasing her because she robbed a bank or murdered a man.
- I have no explanation for Half-Akimbo Jones there.
- That is one hell of a jump. Kinda looks like they repurposed a drawing of a carousel horse.
Best things about this back cover:
- A Girl! (go on ...) a Boy! (yes ... yes ... ) a Horse! (nope, you lost me)
- Oh, her *name* is Copper. Much less interesting.
- Stick with horse-racing, Copper! Fuck that Fowler Wankbridge guy!

"After madame," Fowler said, grinning at her, his eyes bluer than the ribbon clutched in Buck's waiting hand.
Seriously, he just called you (a 17-year-old girl) "madame." Kick him in the balls!

I think that's exactly what he's hoping.
That said, it sounds like Fowler's parents envisioned him working with a different variety of animal. (And just how douchy is the name Fowler Wainbridge III?)
Fowler Wainbridge III is the name you'd give a cartoonishly preppy rich-kid antagonist in an '80s teen comedy.
I hear that Fowler Wainbridge earned his name due to the fact that he *loved* chickens. Judging from his preferred menage a trois, Fowler Wainbridge III will be the last. The next Wainbridge will be Jockey Wainbridge I.
