The Galloping Major

Major Hill is a horse-lover, who after a particularly lucrative day at the races, decides to set up a syndicate to buy a particular racehorse. He is joined in his venture by various acquaintances, and they successfully raise enough money to buy the horse. Unfortunately, by mistake they buy the wrong horse. When it proves useless on the flat, they decide to enter him as a jumper and name him ‘The Galloping Major’. As he becomes more and more successful, they decide to run him in the Grand National. But 36 hours before the race he disappears.
