Answer 2

"Silver Blaze" focuses on the disappearance of the eponymous race horse, a famous winner, on the eve of an important race and on the apparent murder of its trainer, John Straker. The horse is kept at the stables of Colonel Ross.

John Straker has been killed by a great blow to the skull, presumably administered by Simpson with his "Penang lawyer", a clublike kind of walking cane.

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 in reality a man named Mr. 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

A dog is the key factor in Holmes & Watson solving the murder......... the dog , which normally barked when someone approached the property, 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.

Holme's main concern , of course, is getting his horse back in one piece. Holmes refusesto tell Colonel Ross where the 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.
