I used to bet the horses, so I related a bit to this movie. No, I never had a day like Trotter had, but how I wished. :) This movie had lots of support in the comedy that ensues in the movie. "Cheeseburger" was so good, as was the cashier he returned to after every race he bet. Not a blockbuster, of course, but worth your time to view it. One reviewer said he felt the tension as the last race started and I have to agree. It was rather predictable, but as the horse trainers told Trotter after he returned the audio tape, "You never know!"Fun fun flick!Enjoy!

A good friend of mine drug me out to Beulah Park racetrack for my first time back in 1990. Over the years I've become a passionate horseplayer and I've watched as the subject of my passion has withered with the onset of the internet. Horseracing attendance at most small tracks has plummeted, while the "handle", or amount bet on the racing at a given track has generally increased. Most people sit at home and watch and play on the internet. But I'm here to tell you- when I first watched Let It Ride, I could quickly associate just about every character in the movie with a character I knew at Beulah. My favorite part of the movie is when Trotter polls friends, strangers, anyone, about who they liked in a given race. He immediately scratched their selection off !! When he was down to one horse left on his list, that was his wager. I can't tell you how many times I've been at the track amongst six or seven friends, and the only horse that won was the one none of us had bet on !! What a great movie about a subculture that only still exists at the big New York, Florida, Kentucky, and California racetracks. Horseplayers are an interesting group, to say the least, and this movie does a great job capturing the typical personas that you'll find at the track. Its Post Time !!

Can anyone remember, the movie name of the winning horse in the last race of the movie "Let It Ride"? I have gone blank.I have to answer this for a trivia quiz. By far the best horse racing movie ever made!I watch it every time I have a bad day t the window & need cheering up. Richard Dreyfus is great. I play, "I've Got a Horse..." a work all the time-drives everyone crazy as the song sticks! I have been to racetracks all over North America and the characters at every track all seem to be the same. Makes every track feel like home! I recommend this movie to everyone. I think Racetracks should give a copy to all new players. Thanks

This is no doubt the greatest horse racing movie ever made. I doubt there is no true horse racing fan that has not seen this movie at least five times. I have often wondered if Dreyfus is a race nut but I was told by his wife that he has never been to the races. That makes him an even greater actor than I originally thought. I have used many of the lines in this movie many times since I first watched this movie. Some of my lines are, "Is this a great country or what?" Other lines I use are, "You can't put a price tag on a day like this!" Another is "God loves me, I'm due". And, "I didn't know we were having a beauty contest today!" And, finally, "I just saw my life flash before my eyes!"
