Al Haines "The Sporting Chance" by Alice Askew and Claude Askew is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Mostyn Clithero, a young man who is struggling against his father's strict moral beliefs and a desire to embrace a more adventurous and sport-oriented life, particularly centered around horse racing. The narrative is set against the vibrant backdrop of the Derby, where Mostyn's journey of self-discovery unfolds amid the glitz and excitement of the racing world. The opening of the novel introduces several key characters, including Sir Roderick Macphane, known as "Old Rory," who is eager to win the Derby with his horse Hipponous. Mostyn, accompanying his friend Pierce Trelawny, is excited yet painfully aware of his naivety regarding horse racing. As they travel to the Derby, Mostyn grapples with the ridicule he faces for his lack of knowledge, particularly from Captain Armitage and the disdainful Rada Armitage. After a day filled with anticipation and the thrills of the races, Mostyn finds himself making a bold declaration about winning a Derby, setting the stage for conflicts with his father and his own aspirations in the racing world.
