Although the murder takes place on board a ship, the plot does revolve totally around the world of horse racing and a race track figures in the climax. The plot is a complicated one, and sort of makes sense at the end -- although the conclusion seems a bit abrupt. As usual, the supporting players all act very suspiciously to throw you off the track, so to speak. The stable boy characterization is likely to make you cringe, and rightly so.
