THE HORSE, Silver Blaze, was the epitome of racing perfection. He flawlessly won every race in which he was entered. But the biggest race—the Wes- sex Cup—was yet to come.
Then, suddenly, tragedy struck! Silver Blaze was missing, and his trainer was murdered. The case attracted the attention of thousands. It was only days before the big race when Sherlock Holmes was desperately summoned to help solve the mystery.
Although he listened attentively to the details and theories given by the Inspector, Holmes was neither convinced nor satisfied with the previous findings. So he initiated an investigation of his own.
The reader is swept along with Sherlock Holmes in this Creative Short Story of suspense, genius and intrigue which, ultimately, culminates in a surprise appearance at the Wessex Cup and produces a murderer no one would ever have expected !
