AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An English racehorse seems plagued by ill-luck to the disappointment of her hard-pressed owner. His daughter proves that a trial for the horse was fixed and it has hopes of winning the Oaks until she overhears that her brother will be ruined by bets if it wins. The horse goes 'lame', father is disappointed but worse misfortune is avoided. Slight. (PB)
