AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Horse-racing tale. Bets accepted on the favourite by bookies, including from a headstrong reckless young gentleman, seem to be bound to be lost when a race is stacked. But the victory is overturned when a canny owner protests against the weight - the presumed death of another owner helps tip the balance. Humour and strategy. (PB)
