Then there’s Ricco Diangelo, who out of nowhere, mysteriously arrives on the horse racing scene, creating a stir. "Seems like a likable fellow" say many" but some describe an entirely different side of Ricco. "Watch him, remember that if you lie with dogs you will get fleas". It seems like Ricco will spread his fleas into the racing community and many will not notice they have been bitten until it is too late. Ricco is working with bloodstock agent Piper Worthington-Jones to build up his stable of horses but is she hiding something?
Meanwhile, the Champion of Champions race series continues to dominate the horse industry. Angela Masters has now taken hold of the reins, replacing her husband, Angus Masters in the reality show produced by billionaire Howard Irwin. Angela is training against her ex-husband, Logan Weston, a deliberate move by Howard to inject even more drama into the hugely successful reality series bringing the past champions back through cloning. Will Tom Baker Logan’s protégé, be the first to fall into Ricco’s trap? With drugs, hookers, race fixing and extortion in full play, is it too late for Tom, or will he recognize the truth for what it is?
