Synopsis
'Worthy rival to Francis...a thoroughly entertaining read' - THE RACEHORSE '...Notable scenes and dynamic pictorial skill' - SUNDAY TIMES 'A crisply written, high tension thriller. Loved it' - PAT EDDERY The film was the chance for screen idol Catherine Forrest to make a comeback, but it seemed to be jinxed: people were being killed, horses were having to be destroyed, and a series of accidents and bizarre coincidences was slowly terrifying the neurotic actress into madness. Racing adviser Simon Drake's investigations develop into a Turf Security matter when it appears that the motives behind Catherine's demented behaviour involve fiddles at important races and big betting money. Drake finds that in the artificial world of films it is difficult to distinguish fact from fantasy.
