Neil Griffon has taken over the supervision of his father's stables of race horses while his father is hospitalized. Neil is kidnapped by crime czar Enso Rivera, and forced to take Rivera's son 18 year old Alessandro and teach him to be a jockey. Alessandro is at first arrogant, demanding, and disrespectful, and turning him into a jockey is quite a challenge. However, under Neil's tutelage, he becomes a skillful jockey and the bond he forms with Neil arouses his father's anger and jealousy.
In the audio version, the plot is compelling, the action riveting, and the ending fully satisfying. I highly, highly recommend it, ( )
