An English squire's horse trainer recounts the attempt of the squire's enemies to prevent his horse from winning a steeplechase and clearing his debts by bribing his jockey not to appear. The squire foils the attempt by rising from his sickbed to ride it himself. Practical man's tale of racing and honour. (PB)
