Silks and Saddles
Bobbie Morton is a gutsy heroine in the grand Australian tradition. She's a champion horsewoman who can hold her own amongst the men of the racecourse. As part of her adventures she must come to the bottom of a secret race-rigging scam, as well as fend off the advances of an amorous squatter.
