Nerve
Author(s): Dick Francis
Rob Finn was a bit of a misfit; a struggling young jockey in a family of accomplished musicians, a man in love with a beautiful young woman who wouldn't have him because they were first cousins, a rider who - just as it looked like he'd break into racing's big time - lost his nerve. Or did he? The horses felt slow & sluggish beneath him. He knew there had to be a reason. When he found it he also recognized he knew too much, & the cost of that knowledge might be his final defeat
