Dead Weight by John Francome
There's no hiding place for a jump jockey when his courage deserts him. After a crashing fall, champion rider Phil Nicholas returns to racing, but though his body has healed his mind has not. Flashbacks of his accident invade his dreams, rob him of his sleep - and freeze him in the saddle. While Phil is battling to overcome his fear, his weighing-room colleague Adrian Moore is viciously attacked after losing a race he should have won. It's the start of a vendetta by someone determined to hurt those who break the rules of racing. Suddenly Phil can't sit on the sidelines any longer. If he wants to save the sport - and the woman he loves - it's time for him to recover his nerve...
