The great horse race

You could hitch him up and he'd pull like a workhorse, or use him as a saddle horse or a cow horse, and race him twice the same afternoon if the money was scarce. A picture-book runnin' horse, was the Judge.

An educated Comanche, a smooth-talking front man, a wily old codger ... and the fastest quarter horse in Texas. They knew all the tricks, and they weren't afraid to use them.... Until they hit the town of Three Springs, and it looked as if they had finally met their match.
