Summary "Cliquot: A Racing Story of Ideal Beauty" by Kate Lee Ferguson is a romance novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Neil Emory, a man with a troubled past, and his deep affections for Gwendoline Gwinn, juxtaposed against the backdrop of horse racing and a particularly dangerous stallion named Cliquot. As the plot unfolds, themes of love, ambition, and societal expectations are woven into a tapestry that includes elements of both personal struggle and the thrill of the racetrack. The opening of "Cliquot" introduces a riveting incident on the racetrack, where another jockey has been killed due to the violent behavior of the powerful stallion, Cliquot. Neil Emory, the horse's owner, grapples with the implications of this tragedy as he contemplates finding a new rider amidst a chaotic environment. The scene vividly depicts the tension and excitement of the racing world, while also hinting at Neil's complex emotions regarding his past and his feelings for Gwendoline. He is determined to win the upcoming race, not just for the financial stakes but also for personal redemption. The introduction sets the tone for a narrative rich in passionate love, fierce ambition, and the dangers of the sporting life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
