 Horse
trainer, Henry Riley works in stables in Santa Barbara, stables which
belonged to Anthony Tonell and that now belong to Robert Barr. Henry is
mainly in charge of training horses, including Dark Victor, a splendid
racehorse destined for great victories.
Henry
accepts without difficulty the presence of Elizabeth Davis - who is none
other than Kelly Capwell - the new hired one at the stables. He is the
one who makes her visit the place and helps her to remove the dirt from
the loose-boxes. Very quickly, he seems to trust her - unlike another
employee, Travis Bucknell - because he supports her when she offers
Robert Barr to make Dark Victor compete in a race.
Henry
still supports her when, together, they spy on Travis looking for
evidence of corruption within the stables. The discovery of an accounts
book and syringes quickly leads him to understand that Tonell's men are
much more concerned with the bets of the races and the money they can
thus earn than by the horses themselves. He then takes the full measure
of the danger that awaits him.
His
last appearance occurs at the Topsy Turvy's, with his face bashed up by
blows. He comes, out of friendship, to warn Kelly of the danger : she is
next one on the list...
