    This is certainly one of the most thrilling episodes in the series, and I can image this is a favourite with the younger audience. After the story driven episode previous to this 'The Horse race' couldn't be more different. It gets right down to buissness in the opening scenes which is quite unusual for the show and it keeps the pace at a maximum. There are a few plot holes which ussualy aren't that often in the series, but I didn't find that this hindered my enjoyment of one of the most action packed episode in the shows history. High praise indeed.moreless
