Casual Lies – A Triple Crown Adventure
Dear Readers,
   
Wondrous news, the Alameda County Fair has changed the name of their
premier stakes race to the “Casual Lies Handicap.” 
 
  I cried when I was told, what a
legacy to see Stanley’s name on the program. Going forward his name will appear
on the past performance line, a designation of accomplishment and success. 
   
This is a great honor, and to say I am very appreciative, somehow doesn’t
adequately convey my feelings. I have been invited to present the Trophy to the
winning owner and that in and of itself is such a delight. I can hardly wait. 
  
And so the adventure continues, even though Casual Lies no longer walks
this earth, his legacy continues to affect my life in such a positive way. When
I pick up the memoir and read a passage, I am transported back in time, to vivid
memories of what a joy it was to be in the presence of such a warm, friendly
and courageous personality. 
 Take care,
Shelley Riley
