Summary "Garrison's Finish: A Romance of the Race Course" by W. B. M. Ferguson is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores the tragic fall of a once-revered jockey, Billy Garrison, whose life spirals into despair after a race that shatters his reputation and future. It delves into themes of honor, betrayal, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly as Garrison grapples with his perceived dishonor and seeks redemption. The opening of the novel introduces Billy Garrison in the aftermath of a disastrous race where he has lost everything, facing accusations of dishonesty and betrayal. As he navigates through the hostile crowd, he reflects on his past glory and the loyalty that has since evaporated. Critically wounded both physically and emotionally, he confronts a bitter exchange with his stable owner, Waterbury, and the scornful memories of friends turned foes. Garrison's inner turmoil unveils a deeper struggle with integrity as he contemplates the path he has taken and the desperate desire to reclaim his honor. The narrative hints at future revelations and a journey towards reconciling his past with a newfound purpose. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
