Gideon is called in when a stable hand is beaten to death, with his dying breath, he explains that men tried to force him into doping a horse at the stable he works at.
On the plus side, the visuals are so good, considering this show was made in 1964, it's been so impressive, clever use of stock footage, and no efforts to use the limited special effects available at the time. Lots of wonderful faces to enjoy.
Joe Short was a pretty interesting character in fairness, I always enjoyed seeing Michael Ripper popping up, he was a familiar face at the time.
Unfortunately, this episode is the first one I didn't really get into, after three very strong episodes, this one felt a bit week. Perhaps od yours a racing enthusiast, there'll be something here for you to enjoy, I just couldn't get into it.
Just too slow to get into, 6/10.
