What if a telepath could manipulate the outcome of a horse race? That's exactly the question Wally Wilson faces when the enigmatic Joseph Barcelona coerces him into fixing the Kentucky Derby. Flying Heels, Moonbeam, and Lady Grace must finish in a precise order, and Wally's mind-control abilities are the only tool that can make it happen. But Barcelona hasn't accounted for one thing: the messy, unpredictable nature of human beings. As Wally navigates a dangerous world where telepathy meets the criminal underworld, he must decide whether to play along with the scheme or find a way out. The twist isn't just satisfying, it quietly argues that no amount of psychic power can control free will. Written in the punchy, idea-driven style of Astounding Science Fiction, this is a compact thriller that asks: would telepathy end crime, or just make it more creative?
