Silver Blaze: Home to Roost
Title: Silver Blaze: Home to Roost
Author: gardnerhill
Word Count: 60
Rating: G
Warning: None
Summary: “The trainer, John Straker, is a retired jockey…before he became too heavy for the weighing-chair.”
***
We had our orders – all four of us in the stables. Wait. Wait till one of us was alone with him.
He was our stable-boss now. But in the days when he rode we called him The Whip.
That blow I struck was for every flank he’d cut to bleeding ribbons, every bit he’d yanked. We were avenged at last.
