FILM HOUND DERBY

For those who can't get enough of the Kentucky Derby or just enjoy horse racing movies, there are three flicks about the legendary champion, Seabiscuit. The most recent is is the 2003 version based on the Laura Hillenbrand book. There's a 1949 version starring Shirley Temple, notable for the fact that the horse in the movie portraying Seabiscuit is the real life son of Seabiscuit. Topping off the trifecta is a Three Stooges parody called "Even is IOU" about a race horse named "Seabasket." Just another example of the Stooges "horsing" around.

you just reminded me of Shirley Temple's "Little Miss Marker" where some tough guys let her be honorary owner of "Charger", a horse slated for a fixed race.

Thanks Laundress of Wheeling, and you may also remember that "Little Miss Marker" was later remade with Bob Hope and Lucille Ball as "Sorrowful Jones."
