Star.—“An ingeniously horrible story with a diabolically clever plot.”
St James’s Budget.—“A sporting romance which is indisputably cleverly written. . . . The book is full of interesting items of sporting life which are fascinating to lovers of the turf.”
Edinburgh Evening News.—“It has certainly an audacious idea for its central motive. . . . This bright idea is handled with no little skill, and the interest is kept up breathlessly until the tragic end of the experiment. The whole story has a racy flavour of the turf.”
Sporting life.—“The character of the heartless roué, who tells his story, is very well sustained, and the rich parvenu, Peter Drewitt, the owner of the favourite that is very nearly nobbled by the unscrupulous Beauclerc, is cleverly drawn. Altogether it is an exciting and an uncommon tale, and is quite correct in all the sporting details.”

Western Morning News.—“It is a smartly written and deeply interesting story, well out of the beaten track of novelists.”
Literary World.—“The story is well told. . . . Four racy chapters take us thus far, and seven lively ones follow.”
Public Opinion.—“From this point the interest in the story is such that there is no putting the book down till the dénouement is reached. The writing is smart, clever, and telling.”
