The boys are on their way to a football game when, on a shortcut, they give directions to a truck from Kentucky to the race track. Shortly after there's a commotion, but they think nothing of it. Frank in particular is stuck with a talkative foreigner named Vilnoff who won't stop asking questions about American football. On the following day, the boys head off to the races and befriend a forlorn jockey named Ivan. He informs them that a valuable racehorse, Topnotch, has vanished en route! Could the horse have been in the lost truck?
The boys, with some encouragement from their father and Ivan, take up the case of the missing horse, even bringing in Chet Morton and his cowardly cousin Bill. As usual, there's a lot going on. What was interesting was the overly elaborate system of signals and electric fencing criss-crossing the woods and the bombastic Bond-villain the boys must ultimately confront. The Cold War may not have begun, but the roots of spy thrillers were already stretching themselves like Russian tunnels under our forests financed by the theft of prime horseflesh.
The revision involved race cars, naturally, but it couldn't possibly have the same edge.
