At the Kentucky Derby, Jeff joins the FACSA team in a raid on a horse trainer's barn at Churchill Downs, but the bust is a disaster and someone ends up dead. Then, on the morning of the Derby itself, three of the most favoured horses in the field fall sick. These suspicious events can be no coincidence.
