Odds Against
Recuperating from a bullet wound, Sid is asked by his father-in-law to look into some potentially shady activity involving Seabury racecourse and a ruthless property dealer.

For Kicks
The Earl is concerned about a horse-doping scandal that is destroying English racing. He wants to pay Daniel to come back with him, pose as a highly corruptible stable lad and discover who is behind it.

Whip Hand
In Whip Hand, Sid is asked to investigate possible doping of the horses of thoroughbred trainer George Casper – whose once-successful mounts have been failing spectacularly on the race track.

Risk
As an amateur jockey, Roland Britten was lucky, and as an accountant he was rigorous. He knew he was on the hate list of several fraudsters.

Dead Cert
Alan York’s friend, jockey Bill Davidson, was killed in Admiral’s fall. After the race, York visits the fence and discovers a coil of wire lying beside the fence post.

High Stakes
When inventor Stephen Scott abruptly fires his winning trainer Jody Leeds, the racing world is shocked and disgusted – though not quite as angry as Leeds, who swears revenge on his former friend.

Enquiry
When Kelly Hughes rides the favourite into second place, he gets penalized for his trouble.

Forfeit
Tyrone has a nose for a story and he’s convinced there’s more to his friend’s death than meets the eye.
