The Sweep Winner
The story follows three keepers of the rabbit-proof fence who find a mysterious woman in a remote hut and decide to leave the outback for Sydney in search of a new life. In the city their plans become entangled with the racing world—bookmakers, Tattersalls, journalists, and the hunt for horses and jockeys—bringing jealousy, accusations, and business decisions. A central race at Flemington, a sweepstake, and a horse called Barellan drive events to a tense finish, while themes of loyalty, survival, and the close bond between man and horse determine the characters' fortunes and eventual return home.
