Going to racetracks to watch the horses run were weekly trips between travels to Australia, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Tahiti, Canada, and the USA. I was a novice at the beginning of this racing journey and not greatly knowledgeable when it ended. But it was fun and encompassed so much more than horse racing. I picked a few winners too, mostly by being devoted to the feminine entering the field of jockeys. They were like a bud bursting into a flower at springtime. I also followed my instinct for the long shots and the racing form for the lesser payoff of favorites. These were pre-internet years when inform-ation was not readily available at my fingertips.
Travel and history were important to me. Angelo was the perfect travel mate. We both of us were also food aficionados. His palate was just as curious as mine when it came to tasting foods of other cultures. We both delighted in dining out or inviting friends in. We shared a curious mind, a thirst for faraway places with strange sounding names and foods prepared in an unfamiliar manner and served in pleasant surroundings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful journey
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2022
Verified Purchase
The wide-ranging destinations -- and atmospheres -- of this latest literary journey of Arlene Bice's were already inviting to me as I embarked on this book. I knew from previous experience that her memoir journeys always include what attracts and fascinates me: history, culture, human nature, discovery, synchronicity and, most especially, the mysterious and mystical.

The varied experience that has shaped her life, which she has approached with an open heart, gives her the gift of observing and listening with a kind and respectful wonder. This delighted curiosity helps immerse me in scenes and imparts a wonderful sense of place that feels both real and timeless.

I savored the vicarious travel here on several continents -- destinations like Ireland and Australia, the Canadian wilderness, along with the down-to-earth perspective from bus rides with the locals to the ruins of Tulum, Mexico, or the landscapes of Tahiti.

The world of horse racing hasn't ever held much interest for me. But Arlene's experience of that world -- which was also unknown to her -- easily drew me into this appealing travel memoir. I also enjoyed learning more about pioneering and successful women jockeys like Julie Krone and Gwen Jocson

This author has a knack for evoking the spirit of a place, along with an intriguing dig into the history that has shaped it. Her companion, Angelo, had an ease with people no matter where in the world the two of them travelled, and their experience was often so much bigger, and richer, as a result. The segments of Angelo's reunion with family members in Australia, Canada, and his native Italy, from which all of them were forced by circumstance to emigrate at the end of WW2, were particularly moving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful travel memoir!
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2022
A delightful memoir about the author's travels with her husband. He is a horse racing aficionado. At the outset, horse racing is not a hobby of hers but she learns to appreciate it as they embark on many adventures. She finds an aspect of the sport that interests her--the trailblazing female jockeys.

What an amazing adventure--from the Tristate area to Mexico, Australia, Tahiti, Ireland, and Italy. They are the perfect travel companions as they both have a love for adventure and experiencing the local culture. How wonderful to have a partner who says out of the blue, "Let's go to Ireland."

I particularly found the section on Italy interesting because it's a homecoming for the author's husband and an opportunity for her to see the world he came from. Of course, there's family & food!

This book would be a great gift for travel aficionados, horse racing enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys an adventurous read!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Loved Hearing about Female Jockeys in a Man's World---And they won races too!
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022
Another great book by Arlene Bice. Her writing makes a person feel like a travel companion right along with her, whether it's a weekly jaunt to the horse race track or her many varied travels to foreign lands. It was fascinating to hear about the female jockeys in a man's world---and they won races too. She has lots of diverse travel memories and I want to add some of her locations to my bucket list. I can't wait to see what she will come up with in her next book.

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2022
Arlene's writing makes you feel like your part of her family. Once I started reading Running With Horses I couldn't stop. Chapter 6, Monmouth Park racetrack brought back so many childhood memories growing up in Long Branch, New Jersey. There is nothing quite like the excitement of a horse race. This book was an easy and very enjoyable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stepping into someone else's life
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022
What a funny and poignant read. I thoroughly enjoyed stepping into Bice's shoes and experiencing her highs and lows with her husband. It brought back great memories of going to the track with my husband in my youth. Going down memory lane with her was a real treat.
