Answer 1

Inspector Gregory has already arrested a man in connection with John Straker's murder by the time Holmes and Watson arrive at King's Pyland, the Dartmoor stable owned by Colonel Ross from which Silver Blaze is missing. He is Fitzroy Simpson, a London bookmaker who has come to Dartmoor, and specifically to King's Pyland, ostensibly to gather information relating to his professional activities, which will surely include wagers laid on favourites for the Wessex Cup, the race in which Silver Blaze is to run. However, from the outset, there seem to be a number of facts that don't seem to fit the inspector's case against Simpson, damning as it looks. It seems odd, for instance, that he would lead the horse out on to the moor simply to injure or kill him. That could be done right in his stall. He could not have stolen the animal. What good would such a famous thoroughbred be to him? Why has an exhaustive search of the neighbourhood not turned up Silver Blaze? What has Simpson done with him?
Sherlock Holmes soon tracks down Silver Blaze, literally: his tracks, along with a man's, are clearly visible in the soil, albeit intermittently. Holmes also deduces why the police could not find the horse, despite having looked right at him. Holmes ensures Silver Blaze's safety, and turns his mind to other aspects of the case.
John Straker, Silver Blaze's late trainer, has been killed by a great blow to the skull, presumably administered by Simpson with his "Penang lawyer", a clublike kind of walking stick. Simpson's cravat is also found in Straker's hand, and the latter's coat is found draped over a furze bush. A knife is found at the crime scene, a peculiarly delicate-looking one with a small blade. Dr. Watson, from his medical experience, identifies it as a cataract knife, used in the most intricate of operations. Useful as it is for surgery, it would be rather useless as a weapon. Straker also seems to have stabbed himself in the leg with it.
One of the stable lads, Ned Hunter (the one on guard duty the night of the crime) was drugged with powdered opium that someone had put in his supper. No-one else who ate the curried mutton made at the Strakers' house that evening suffered any ill effects, but Hunter was in a profound stupor well into the next day.
Straker's pockets contained some interesting things. What was the tallow candle for? Why was there a milliner's bill for, among other things, a 22-guinea dress — surely dearer than any horse trainer could afford — made out to a Mr Darbyshire?
Then, of course, there is the curious incident with the dog. There is also a singular problem with the sheep kept at the stable: a shepherd boy tells Holmes that three of his animals have recently gone lame all of a sudden.
Holmes's powers of deduction unravel the mystery and lay bare what villainies there are to be exposed. He visits the milliner's shop in London and determines, using Straker's photograph, that Straker was Darbyshire. This establishes his motivations: he had another wife with expensive tastes and was seeking to influence the race's outcome to earn himself large sums of money.
The curried mutton was a clue, too. Only such a dish as that could have masked the taste of powdered opium, and it is beyond reason that Simpson could have made someone at the Straker household come up with the idea of serving a highly spiced meal that evening for his purposes. Therefore, someone in the household must have conceived the idea, namely Straker himself.
Of course, the "curious incident of the dog in the night-time" is now easily explained: the dog made no noise because no stranger was there; it was Straker who removed Silver Blaze from his stall and led him out on to the moor.
As to Straker's purpose in doing this, it was to use the cataract knife to cause a slight lameness in one of the horse's legs. He had thought to use Simpson's cravat, which Simpson had dropped as he was unceremoniously being seen off from King's Pyland, as a sling to hold the horse's leg while he did his dastardly deed. As to how Straker was killed, the horse, sensing that something was amiss, panicked and brought a shod hoof down on the trainer's head.
As to the lame sheep, Straker had apparently used them for surgery practice.
Colonel Ross's main concern, of course, is getting his horse back in one piece. Holmes chooses not to tell Ross where his horse has been, although he has known all along, until the dénouement after the climactic run of the Wessex Cup, which naturally is won by Silver Blaze. At first the Colonel does not recognize his own horse because the animal's trademark white markings have been covered with dye. Holmes then explains why, and all other details of the case, step by step, to the satisfaction of the Colonel, Watson, and Inspector Gregory."

Answer 2

Silver Blaze is a famous race horse that its trainer stole from its stable and attempted to cripple, because he owed money. The horse kicked him and killed him. A rival stable found the horse and dyed its hide to hide it and Sherlock discovered the deception.
