Trivia
There is a scene in which Alec opens the door of Henry Dailey's office and looks around at all the old memorabilia Henry acquired as a winning jockey. One of the photos is a shot of a younger Mickey Rooney atop the horse that looks to be the one featured in National Velvet. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Alec is being rescued, he is in the lifeboat clinging to the horse. The horse is hesitant to enter the water. When the horse finally does enter the water it is already completely wet. See more »Quotes
