Review Quotes: "Exuberant...witty, completely delightful.... A kind of National Velvet for adults." --San Francisco Chronicle

"Smiley is arguably America's foremost author on the subject of love.... And love imbues this memoir." --The Washington Post

"Smiley has flung herself headlong...into horse racing.... Enough good horse stories to keep any reader happy." --The New York Times Book Review

"Invigorating...thought-provoking. A delightful book filled with arcane horse knowledge.... It could easily become the bible of the barn." --The Baltimore Sun
