My boss told me not to ride a horse that's not his, so I know I'd be in real trouble with him if I did. No, sir, I thank you for your offer, but I don't figure to risk my job for just rider's pay."

Answer 1

Answer: is not going to tell Sutcliffe that Mr. Logan is his father

Explanation:

Sutcliffe asks Mr. Logan, Paul's father, for permission to have Paul ride a horse in the next day race, but Mr. Logan refuses.
