I never read any of his books but I've seen a film, think it was Dead Cert. From what I remember the two jockeys leading in the Grand National had a fight, the goodie throwing the baddie off his horse and leaving him impaled on a spiked fence (which would have breached health and safety regulations even at that time) before going on to win. Never mind a police investigation, there wasn't even a steward's inquiry!

Was the 14:55 at Lingfield unusual in anyway? My SP bets didn't get matched.
...cancel that they did, but BA still has one as unmatched.
