Présentation de l'éditeur

The Druid's Lodge Confederates were a syndicate of five inspired gamblers - a stud owner, a Royal vet, a Master of Foxhounds and two City financiers - who decided that racing could, and would, pay handsomely.

In total secrecy, from isolated, purpose-built stables near Stonehenge, the 'Hermits of Salisbury Plain' prepared a string of horses to secure some of the most fabulous betting coups ever landed on the Turf.
