![]() Are races being fixed? Are bookies taking a cut? And if so, are trainers and jockeys playing a dangerous game with stakes far higher than they realise? ![]() Just moments before the gruesome discovery, Halley had been called upon by Lord Enstone to make discrete enquiries into why his horses appeared to be on a permanent losing streak. But this is precisely how he finds jockey Huw Walker, who, only a few hours earlier, had won the coveted Triumph Hurdle. Former champion jockey Halley knows the perils of racing all too well but in his day, jockeys didn’t usually reach the finishing line with three. It’s the third death on Cheltenham Gold Cup Day that really troubles super-sleuth Sid Halley. However, three in a single afternoon was sufficiently unusual to raise more than an eyebrow. Sadly, death at the races is not uncommon. Amazon Apple Books Kobo Google Play Under Orders by Dick Francis
