Typical Dick Francis but with a little twist at the end.
Steven Scott is relatively new to horses. A successful, wealthy inventor, he takes up horse racing as a hobby. But just when he is winning at both women and horses, he discovers deceit in his own stables. Termination of the troublemaker marks Steven for his own termination - and much sooner than he can imagine...
A typical Dick Francis stay up all night story.His heroes are strong,weak, bright,dumb----in other words;human.
Beautiful copy and excellent story! With a glass of champagne in one hand and binoculars in the other, the world of racing could seem a very cosy and civilized hobby. Especially when your horse has just sprinted past the winning post. But the pleasure of a day at Sandown is spoiled for Steven Scott when he sacks the trainer of his horses, a man he once thought of as a friend. For although on the surface Jody Leeds is a bright young workaholic, Scott suspects he's a crook. Racing may have its rewards but, as Scott finds out to his own cost, not all of them are innocent...or legal.
