GF was watching the Bachlorette and told me to come watch, they were at Santa Anita on a date. I could only stomach 1 minute of the show.

Wife and I are watching the entire series of Perry Mason episodes. We are on season 2. In season 2, episode 8, "The Case of the Jilted Jockey", is about a star race horse who loses a big race, because he was drugged. Who did it, the jockey or the groom? Perry lost $2 on him, and also Stella and (of course) Paul Drake. Shows Hollywood park with large crowds. Those were the days, eh?

The Three Stooges - "Playing the Ponies"...
Who can forget Thunderbolt eating the hot peppers 
This is a (very well done) colorized version of the original:

Anyone know where the racing scenes were filmed? Caliente maybe, or Santa Anita?

In at least 2 episodes of 2 1/2 Men, you will see Charlie Sheen's character with either DRF and one with the Todays Racing Digest. Also an episode where he takes his nephew to the track.

On the right track starring Gary Coleman
I don't recall much of the movie but he made race predictions. As a kid I would move the pieces around the track of my APBA Saddle Racing game using the names of fictional horses from the movie to practice my race calling.

Go to 1:35 in the video and listen to the greatest horse racing double entendre in the history of Hollywood.
This is the colorized version that looks like crap.
Bogey and Bacall in the Big Sleep. In the film Bogey has horse racing pics all over his private detective office. One of my favs
