Einstein would be proud of my Insanity...
I have concluded this is fantasy. OP says he is only interested in facts not opinion.
FACT - it would not be possible to get a train out of London to Newmarket (I assume this is the racing town 1 hour from London) on a Saturday morning arriving for 6am. First train would not get in till about
7am. If writing fiction, still have to check the facts.
I rest my case m’lud.
I think that's just another indication that he doesn't know his audience. 'Racing Town' for us immediately means Newmarket, but for a non racing/riding person it's just his pseudonym to prevent the yard being identified.
I'm conflicted. If it's fantasy, it doesn't read as if it's been written by anyone who knows horses. And if it's been written by anyone who doesn't know horses, there's too much detail about racing yards in it for it to be fantasy.
But it definitely is boring 😄
