Read by Ralph CoshamRoland Britten, accountant and amateur jockey, awakens one morning to find he can't move his hands--because he is tied up with netting, held captive where no light penetrates and no amount of yelling will get any attention. As an amateur jockey, Roland had pleased no one when he took Tapestry past the finish line first in what turned out to be the worst Gold Cup in history.
