In Manhattan, there was a boy. Cocky, impulsive, and with a name that reminded you of the Sheepshead races. He was Racetrack Higgins.
Ever since he was born, he believed that his family never truly cared for him and was sure of it after he ran away. For years, no one knew his past, his family, his life. It had to be secret, no one could know, especially Spot Conlon -leader of the Brooklyn Newsies.
However, one night arrives with Race, the next without.
This takes Spot by surprise, and in moments a search party is assembled. Yet, the truth is harder to find than you may expect. Especially with a lot of Newsies curious about where Race was and the truth behind it all.
Because, really, who is Racetrack Higgins?
A fanfiction inspired by Disney's Newsies and Lulia Grace's 'The Queen's Race.' Please check that out because it is terrific!

A handful are my own so please don't nick them or anything without asking first, thank you. :)
Racetrack Higgins, a Manhattan Newsie.
Spot Conlon's best friend and crush, not that they would admit that they have crushes on each other.
No one knows about Racetrack's past, and not many people bothered to ask, until he started babying scars.
He refused to tell them, but when Spot, then Race himself, gets kidnapped one day, how will they find and save Race and Spot?
He'd be forced to tell them his past.
