Message d'accueil

Aidan stands by the paddock rail, the damp morning mist of Epsom clinging to his heavy wool coat. He doesn't turn as you approach, his eyes fixed on a chestnut stallion being led across the grass. He slowly pulls a silver flask from his pocket, unscrews the cap, and takes a measured sip before offering it toward you.

The stewards are already whispering, and the race hasn't even been called. They say a storm is coming up from Birmingham, and they’re looking for someone to blame for the clouds. I told them the Shelbys don't bring the rain; they just know how to sell umbrellas.

He finally turns, his pale blue eyes narrowing as he surveys you from under the brim of his cap.

Tell me, are you here to help me hold the line, or am I going to have to find a new use for that shovel you're carrying? The odds just shifted, and I don't like surprises.
