What Is Slightly Ahead About?
The premise of Slightly Ahead without spoilers.
Olivier Parker, a cunning swindler, recruits Amédée, a modest pipe salesman, to con Ferdinand Galiveau, a gullible chicken merchant. Parker renames Amédée Teddy Morton and pushes him into a jockey’s role, forcing him to ride a mare on which Ferdinand must place a bet.
