‘Bugger,’ she muttered. She diverted to the archive racing results and scrolled down to Lingfield’s Saturday night fixture. Ginny felt her heart stop as she read the results. She’d got the name wrong.

CB1. She fell back in her seat and stared at the screen in dread as it hit her. Cymbalic Band won.

‘No, Mark,’ she whispered. That message had all but decided the verdict. Damien Woods was fixing races, and Mark was in on it too. He was more than likely the mastermind of it.

How could he have betrayed her like this, she thought in dismay? He had used her. Tears of hurt pricked her eyes, as she realised that every intimate moment they had shared had been a lie. Even his identity might have been a lie. Who was he really? Mark Rushin or Mark Wolfe? He didn’t feel a scrap of affection for her; she was just an easy target. And it had taken her sworn enemy to tip her off. It was a very subtle way to have warned her, Ginny thought, but if Julien had told her outright she was being taken for a ride, would she have believed him? The answer to that was plain. No. He knew it as well. He had been about to warn her at the Ball but had stopped himself. She sighed, defeated. How could she have been so blinkered? And poor Kenya, Ginny mourned. The filly had so much ability, and such a genuine attitude, it was criminal that someone would want to sacrifice her talent just for their own corrupt benefit. She might as well say goodbye to her now, because she wouldn’t be at Ravenhill Stables for much longer.
