Horse Play

HORSE PLAY

Daring, dangerous, equine…

By Nathaniel Crossinggum with Lunch Friend

Part political thriller, part ghostly haunting, Horse Play tells the tale of the Melbourne Cup gone horribly wrong. 

Within the bowels of Flemington Racecourse, Georgie, a class-climbing, self-sufficient transwoman, finds herself embroiled in a plot to sabotage the Cup. 

Tangled up with the enigmatic and secretive activist “Pony”, her world begins to crumble as the lines between terrorist and victim, good and bad, person and horse begin to blur.
