Riley (crater)

Riley is a crater on Venus.

The crater is in diameter. The floor of the crater is 580 metres (1,914 feet) below the plains surrounding the crater. The crater's rim rises 620 metres (2,046 feet) above the plains and 1,200 metres (3,960 feet) above the crater floor. The crater's central peak is 536 metres (1,769 feet) high. The crater's diameter is 40 times the depth resulting in a relatively shallow appearance.

Riley (given name)

Riley is a given name for males and females, which first appeared as Raghallach, which was originated on a man who died in the Battle of Clontarf. Its source gives its meaning as "valiant".

Though originally a given name, it is more popular and well known as a surname. The surname's first variant is Ó Raghallaigh (Descendent of/Of Raghallach) which was later adapted in English as O'Reilly which itself has been anglicized into "Reilly". The surname "Riley" is an over time translated version of Reilly. It currently is #8 in England and Wales, #9 in Northern Ireland, #15 in Scotland, #30 in Australia and New Zealand, #64 in Canada, #156 in the United States, and #198 in the Netherlands.

Riley (horse)

Riley (1887 – July 1, 1910) was a bay colt sired by Longfellow out of Geneva and was the winner of the 1890 Kentucky Derby, finishing the race at the slowest time recorded to that point, at 2 minutes 45 seconds, due to a very muddy track. Riley was originally named Shortfellow and had a relatively long and successful career winning the Railway Stakes, Trial Stakes, Merchants' Stakes, Clark Stakes, Speculation Handicap, Fairwiew Lightweight Handicap, Pelham Bay Handicap, Monmouth Cup, Shrewsbury Handicap, Coney Island Cup, Bay Ridge Handicap, Free Handicap, Brooklyn Cup, and Montgomery Stakes. Over his career he had 64 starts with 30 wins, 17 places and 4 shows.

Riley died on July 1, 1910 at the age of 23 while being cared for by a racehorse rescue association.

Riley's only offspring of note was his daughter, Hurley Burley, who was the dam of Burgomaster, a successful sire.
