Why read it?
1 author picked Stake Night as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This whole series is so interesting. It follows the interconnected lives of top trainers and the (mostly wealthy) riders who show upper-level Saddlebreds. This is a world I’d known absolutely nothing about before. So, reading this series was fascinating and eye-opening.

From Genevieve's list on about horse actually written by horse people.
