| 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. |
