The true story of a diminutive, yearling colt bought for a song at a Thoroughbred sale in Kentucky and the female trainer who recognized his potential. The memoir relates the triumphs and hardships experienced by the horse Casual Lies and his trainer along the trail to the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont. Told in first person by the woman who discovered and trained the small, nondescript yearling who would become the stakes-winning Casual Lies, their story is a run that made history.
