[aisle] cataloging confusion

[Mrs. Kuzminski]

I went back and forth about *Eighty-Dollar Champion *as well.  It is a
young adult adaptation of an adult book which Titlewave says is non-fiction
798.2, so that's what I went with.  I haven't read the whole book, but I
paged through it.  Two of the subject tags are "Showjumping - Fiction" and
"Horses - Fiction.  Perhaps some of the scene dialogue is fictionalized?
But the horse really did exist and the story about the guy purchasing the
horse for $80 right before the horse was going to be destroyed is true.

If anyone else has thoughts, I'd be interested to hear them as well.
