The future of John Bramber's famous racing stables rests precariously on the behavior of the Viola colt in his first race at Epsom. Will he prove ill-fated like the rest of the Viola progeny? Or will he take to racing as a duck takes to water? Bramber and his daughter Elizabeth watch anxiously while the horses are lined up. In a few moments the feud between the Bramber stables and the nearby Dangate establishment is fanned into flames. Elizabeth thinks it wrong of her father to blame young Peter Dangate for what happened years ago and she hopes that one day she and Peter and her father may come to burying the hatchet once and for all. This story of how An intractable colt plunges human lives into near ruin and then before it is too late, raises them onto a pillar of happiness and prosperity, is one of the best that Capt'n Dent has yet offered to lovers of the turf.
