Publisher's Synopsis
After Wolf Mountain Horse Company stallion Blackfoot Jess won the Kentucky Derby a few weeks ago, all eyes are on the running of the race at Preakness. But once again Gold Springs own Sasha Brandt has run into trouble, not of her own making. Jess vanished from his stall apparently stolen. With only a few minutes head start a search found the Derby champion, only the dead body locked in with him made things take a turn for the worse. At this point in the investigation, the body is still unidentified, the motive is unclear, but Jess will still run for the Black-Eyed Susan's later today. If he wins he could be the first Triple Crown winner in 30 years. No jokes about a murderous horse, the only thing that can be said about the gruesome incident is that the victim was stabbed before being locked in with Jess and another horse. A strobe light left in with them was clearly intended to rile the horses up and hide all evidence a human hand was involved.
