Casual LiesA Triple Crown Adventure Shelley Lee Riley 9781482679243 Books

I purchased this book because I have always enjoyed watching horses run, whether on a race track or when open and free. I finished the book just before attending the Kentucky Derby. Although I have had the pleasure of being around horses and having some access to the stabling areas at some minor races, it gave me so much more insight into what goes into purchasing, training. and the decisions that must be made when deciding when, where, and whether to race a horse. Then there are the things one cannot plan for.

The author, Shelley Riley, was married to a jockey and was one of the first women trainers to have a horse vie for the Triple Crown. I enjoyed her writing style and insight to the horse racing world. Casual Lies is not just a good story about the personality of the horse, the bond that grew between the trainer and her horse, it is also educational.

Casual LiesA Triple Crown Adventure Shelley Lee Riley 9781482679243 Books Reviews

Great book. Insight into the racing world and somebody following their dream. I recommend it highly.
If you've ever wondered about the highs and lows of owning a thoroughbred racehorse then this is a must read. A facinating insight into every owners ultimate dream ride.
I thought this was a wonderful book. I had a hard time putting it down. This was a great insight to horse racing and the trails and tribulations of the people in racing. Once in a while with a lot of hard work and a little luck horse people reach there dreams.
This is an excellent story, not only about the amazing Triple Crown, but also about the dedication of Shelly Riley to Casual Lies. Her love and caring for this horse adds depth to the story.
Very interesting and extremely well written. Brings back memories when I was at the 1992 Kentucky Derby and bet on Casual Lies. I cashed and nice ticket before the rains came down. It was a memorable day!
As a small time owner and breeder of race horses and a huge racing fan I totally enjoyed this book. Shelley had a way of taking us along on her great adventure.
I ate this story up with soooo many memories of being at the track! Shelley and Jim Riley worked their butts off for years, side by side, day by day, year by year. She captured and made visual the ins and outs of a small training stable that made it to the big dance, something all of us little people in the horse racing business dream about. Not much else compares to horse racing, in my opinion. There are no higher highs than winning and no loss as big as losing a horse. She really listened to Stanley, made life right for him, was able to make him the star and do the right thing for them all. I'm not a writer so I can't even start to critique this, other than she let the general public in on their lives in a spectacular way. I hope she inspires someone to come into the business. It's like no other. Thank you Shelley!
