A great read by Dick Francis, as ever set in the horse world that I have begun to love through these books. This novel was published in 1971.Neil Griffon is entrusted to take care of his father's stables while he is injured and laid up in bed. However he is not very experienced and ends up being kidnapped by the bad guys. Subsequent to this, Neil is forced to hire a jockey to ride a potential Derby winning horse. The jockey turns out to be the son of the kidnapper.
How does Neil turn the situation around to ensure that the good guys win? You will lap up this book to find out. It is not one that you will want to put down!
