Smiley gets points for a true understanding of how the horse racing industry works, but loses points for a totally unrealistic depiction of depression (and recovery) in one of the characters. The book is overlong and crowded with characters both human and animal -- and frankly the horses are by far the most interesting ones. Worth reading, but the reader needs to be ready to settle down for a 571-page haul.
