If you enjoy Dick Francis this is one of my favorite. It is written as all the others around horse racing in England.
Tim Ekaterin, young scion of Ekaterin Investment Bankers, saves the day when he finds his boss standing in the fountain outside their office. Mayhem and menace build from there. Ugly rumors appear in print in the gossip papers. The bank, on Tim's say-so, loan millions on a superb racehorse--whose progeny end up with genetic defects--the only contingency left uninsured. Tim races against the clock to uncover the cause, to uncover the truth of the rumors, and to save the bank. Most threatening of all, he falls in love with his boss's wonderful wife.
Young investment Banker Tim Ekaterin suddenly finds himself involved in the nasty world of thoroughbred racing- and discovers his unexceptional world of business blown to smithereens.
When the multimillion -dollar loan he arranges to finance the purchase of Sandcastle, a champion, is threatened by an apparent defect in the horse. Tim Searches desperately for an answer. And he falls headlong into deep trouble and he can't stop it. He must find who is trapping and baiting him and how to protect and keep Sandcastle.
