His day at the track (filmed at Hialeah Park) is one that we all dream of. The screenplay is adapted from Jay Cronley's novel "Good Vibes." During the course of one racecard, every race Trotter bets, he wins.

Richard Dreyfuss stars in “Let It Ride” as a cab driver named Jay Trotter who has, as he says, "a very good day" betting at the races. Although the film didn’t win, it was nominated for best cinematography at the 76 th Academy Awards. I just think director of photography John Schwartzman and crew did a great job of capturing the moments and transporting the audience into the story of Seabiscuit. The close-up shots of the racing scenes are some of my favorite clips ever.
With Santa Anita Park, Keeneland, and Saratoga Race Course as film locations for “Seabiscuit,” it’s tough to get any better than that. Still, we think there are so many more horse-centric movies that deserved a gold statuette. So too did the classic “National Velvet” take home two Oscars in 1945, for Best Supporting Actress (Anne Revere) and Best Film Editing (Robert Kern).
Yes, “Ben-Hur” (the original, not the deservedly shunned GGI remake) was honored for its technical achievements in 1959, highlighted by the staging and filming of its iconic chariot race. The 92 nd Academy Awards arrives Sunday, and horse racing aficionados can revel in the implicit recognition the sport of kings annually receives when journalists and film buffs adopt racing’s handicapping lingo to forecast the night’s winners.Īctual awards for horse movies have been harder to come by, so, in advance of Oscar night, the team at America’s Best Racing came up with some achievements in the field of equine-related celluloid that we believe were overlooked by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences the first time around and deserve recognition.
