We need to keep reassuring ourselves that this is fiction. Sometimes it gets scary.

Get a glimpse into two worlds — the rich and famous, and mobsters — in a glamorous horse racing setting. Calls to question the reality and illusion of winning and losing. Sometimes what they appear to be is not what they are. Love the artwork, too.

I love that mare and all her dawdling. And I like Billy Jones. Sometimes it’s just about finishing the race and moving on, even in defeat. Great read!

Jimmy O’Hara changed his life a number of years back, as I was able to do with the help on Bill Wilson and others. So–I relate to him in just about whatever he does–in fact I’ve always thought of myself as “Lucky Jack” long before reading Roberts wonderful writings. But-I’d rather be lucky than good. But Jimmy has the whole combination–he’s both lucky and good! You’ll never be disappointed with Roberts “Stuff”–it’s just great!

Us civilians don’t know the racing jargon and its an exotic journey to learn it Thanks for the ride Bob even if we only placed but we did finish

What is not said is just as compelling as what is.
