[3] PlotAfter losing his money at the races, a racehorse owner's (John McCallum) fiancée (Greta Gynt) jilts him and marries a lord (Raymond Lovell). Whilst drowning his sorrows, the racehorse owner becomes involved in a big-race scandal. The plot is to steal his own prize horse before a race, therefore increasing the odds in another big race, the Ascot Gold Cup. Can he successfully recoup his fortune and also win again in the romantic stakes? Cast
ProductionThere was location filming at Ascot and Hurst Park.[4] Critical receptionBritmovie called the film a "tepid melodrama"; [5] while David Parkinson, in the Radio Times, wrote, "British cinema was heavily dependent on the mysteries of Edgar Wallace in the early talkie era. Few of these creaky thrillers were ever remade, until someone at Gainsborough Productions felt the need to bring this veritable stage warhorse under starter's orders for a second time. It's all clipped accents and impossibly earnest hamming from the off...fans of Dick Francis may find it amusing."
