Summary

From the day Bill Helgar rode into town just in time to stop a slug intended for Dan Trusand, the gambler, to the day he rode Blue Chip in the quarter-horse race, Bill stayed right in the middle of trouble. Who were the mysterious miners who bet heavily on the rival Rain Drop? Why did John Grant disappear so mysteriously the day the stage-coach was robbed? The answers came on the day of the big race.
