Thoroughbreds explores the conflict between personal passion and societal expectations, as a character's love for horse racing clashes with the moral opposition of another. This central tension drives the narrative, illustrating how deeply ingrained values and personal convictions can come into conflict with the opinions of others. The story delves into the complexities of family loyalty, as differing opinions on racing cause strain within a household, particularly between spouses. The novel also critiques the corruption and greed that can infiltrate even the noblest pursuits, like horse racing, showing how ambition and personal gain can cloud judgment and integrity. One character's struggle with personal integrity is examined, as they face moral dilemmas that test their values. The growing sense of betrayal that permeates the story further complicates relationships, challenging individuals to navigate loyalty and trust in a world that prizes success over virtue. Ultimately, the novel underscores how societal pressures, personal passion, and moral conviction intertwine to shape the decisions individuals make.
