Match racing is a world apart from organized racing. The only rules in match racing are what you negotiate them to be. It is a world populated by semi-con men and gamblers. If you are not extremely careful it can be hazardous to your health, because some of the players are poor losers, who would rather fight than pay. Our story will furnish the reader an insight into the world of match racing, where it takes more than the best horse to be successful.

He must be on the alert at all times to protect himself and his horses from theives and bandits. The Author understand how the game is played in both organized and unorganized racing.
