No, "A year at the races," is non-fiction and is  really 
autobiographical.  She talks about her horses, and her trainers.  But 
the good part is her discussion of horse "psychology" which she based in 
part on other writers as well as her own experiences.  A lot of what she 
says about how racing thoroughbreds learn their jobs and learn to 
appreciate themselves applies perfectly to endurance horses.
