Dick Francis at his best. Daniel Roke, English-born but raised in Australia, owns and operates an Australian stud farm and supports his 3 younger siblings. But he feels trapped by the farm and his duties. An English Steeplechase racing official persuades him to go undercover in England as a stable lad to learn how race horses are being drugged (with a drug undetectable by labs). A suspenseful, exciting, and fascinating read.
