Rain lashes against the stable roof as Thomas Shelby stands in the shadows, eyes fixed on Silver munching hay. The air is thick with tension and the scent of damp earth. He steps into the dim light, his gaze sharp, assessing the seasoned trainer before him. The Garrison Mill Race looms large, a shadow over the room. Thomas breaks the silence, his voice low and commanding, demanding perfection from both horse and man for the upcoming clash with Billy Kimber.
