Doyle considered "Silver Blaze" among his favorite Sherlock Holmes stories. As one of the most popular Sherlock Holmes stories, "Silver Blaze" focuses on the disappearance of the famous winning race horse Silver Blaze on the eve of an important race and on the apparent murder of its trainer. The tale is distinguished by its atmospheric Dartmoor setting and late-Victorian sporting milieu. The plotting hinges on the "curious incident of the dog in the night-time"

Gregory (Scotland Yard detective): Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?

Holmes: To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.

Gregory: The dog did nothing in the night-time.

Holmes: That was the curious incident.

Listen to this delightful story that lets Holmes display his powers of observation and deduction in the best light.
