Silks and Saddlecloths

   

Salesman Victor Barnes believes that he has it all, until he is pulled over on the motorway by a flashing blue light. Set in the horse-racing world, this is the story of his attempt to rebuild his life after a terrible loss.

Set against the thrills and spills of thoroughbred horse racing, Silks and Saddlecloths is the compelling story of Victor Barnes's attempt to rebuild his life after the most terrible loss which takes him back to his West Country roots and then plunges him deep into the dangerous world of racing intrigues and passions, of shady dealings and dopings.

He buys a rogue stallion, then a steeplechaser, entered for the Grand National and meets Mary, his trainer's headstrong and gutsy daughter.

Can he turn his own tragedy into ultimate triumph in the Derby?
