...biggest quarter-horse race of all is the annual Ail-American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs, N. Mex. Come Labor Day, some 10,000 bona fide and drugstore cowboys-along with doctors, lawyers and oil-rich Indian chiefs-will turn out to see the tenth running of the 400-yard event billed as the "World's Richest Horse Race."

Its hero-villain is a walking compendium of all the sins that Pearson sees committed in Congress. Rich enough to begin with (a construction magnate worth at least $150 million), the hero is a willing and corrupt tool of Conglomerate, a group of large corporations that plan to exploit national lands for their own interest.
