Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Plotting on: Dick Francis finds writing harder than riding but with his 20th best-selling thriller behind him he has little else to nag about. Francis quit racing in 1957 soon after a bad fall aboard the Queen Mother's horse in the Grand National. He's in town as a judge at the Royal Winter Fair.
