My favorite characters were Sherlock Holmes because he was a really good detective and he had a really good imagination and another favorite character was Watson. He was Sherlock's helper and he was always finding clues that meant he had really good vision.


The thing that surprised me the most was that Silas Brown wanted Silver Blaze not to run in the race and he stole the horse and made Sherlock go through this very hard adventure.


I would not change the ending because it was cool that Silver Blaze won the race and his owner Colonell Ross got a cup for winning all the races in the year. Silver Blaze never lost a race even though Silas Brown wanted Silver Blaze not to win every race that was held in this year.

Opäť klasický Sherlockov príbeh prepísaný do verzie pre menších čitateľov.
Atraktívna konská téma, skvelý Sherlock, typický Watson a nekonečné slatiny juhozápadného Anglicka.
