Plot
A group of stable hands is given a race horse when its owner retires from the business. They raise money to run the horse in the Hollywood Derby at Santa Anita race track.
Sinekatalog’s take
A lightweight racetrack comedy short in which a gang of stable hands tries to turn a gift horse into a winner. The jokes are mild and the plot is thin. Mostly of interest to fans of the star's later career.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
