Many people knew Glen Leigh as the daring rider in the Buckjumping Show; and he was a tall, athletic, handsome man. Many bright eyes were levelled at him as he moved about.
"What's Pioneer's colours?" asked Bill.
Glen looked at his race book.
"White, black cap," he said.
He had no sooner spoken than the horses were off, racing up the straight at top speed. It was a regular Newmarket Handicap on a small scale.
Soon after crossing the tan the white jacket came to the front.
"That's Pioneer!" exclaimed Bill.
"He's in front and he'll stop there," said a man behind him.
"So do I. He's a speedy horse, and good enough for a Newmarket."
