Thomas Foley

Thomas Foley is an Irish immigrant who arrived in America when he was seventeen years old. His
mother, father and two sisters still live in Ireland. He is the father of three boys, Robert, Daniel and
Kieran.

His memoir,
The Simple Game: An Irish Jockey's Memoir, is his first book. He has ridden as a
professional jockey both on the flat and steeplechasing for over thirteen years. In his first full year as a
professional jockey, he was the leading money-winning apprentice in steeplechasing and the third
leading money winner overall. After spending the last three years riding on the flat, he has returned to
riding over jumps and trying to get back to the reason he became a jockey in the first place... the
horses.

In 2010, Foley was cast in the role of Jimmy Gaffney in Walt Disney movie based on the life of
Secretariat. He currently lives on a farm outside Baltimore, Maryland.
Together, we're racing ahead, one compelling book at a time.
