Edgar Wallace Centenary (born 1 April 1875)

Dramatised by Barry Campbell

The Racing Calendar is a popular newsletter for the horse racing/betting crowd, eagerly perused by our characters, and the social media of its day.

The setting of this mystery/thriller is the horse-racing world. In an impulsive moment, a man agrees to throw a big race-and then is faced with all the consequences.

'There are only two calendars, old boy - the " Newgate Calendar" and the" Racing Calendar" - the losers of the past and the losers of the future.

The "Calendar" or the Racing Calendar "is a sober sheet, which few but racing men ever see’
