Download A Year at the Races: Reflections on Horses, Humans, Love, Money, and Luck AudioBook Free
"Every horse report is a love report," writes Jane Smiley, who has treasured horses for the majority of her life and owned and bred them for a good part of it. To love something is to see it with more than standard attention, which is just what Smiley does in this irresistibly smart, witty, and engaging chronicle of her obsession. Specifically she follows a sexy filly called Waterwheel and a grey called Wowie (he "tells" a horses communicator that he wishes it modified from Hornblower) as they commence occupations at the racetrack. Filled up with laughter and suspense, and with discourses on equine brains, affection, and identity, A Time at the Races is a winner.
