Trivia:
Let it Ride was filmed at Hialeah Race Course in south Florida during the tracks' off season. Racing was being conducted at nearby Calder Race Course, and Dreyfuss was spotted on several occasions, presumably researching his role as Trotter. Unfortunately, this classic track is now closed, although there is an ongoing rumor that it may reopen at some point. more
Goofs:
Continuity: Trotter is handcuffed behind his back when he makes a dash for the betting window. When he is tripped, and slides on his stomach across the floor, you can see his hands (briefly) uncuffed. more
Quotes:
Looney:
[following Trotter as he leaves the betting booth] Hey, Trotter! I got an idea on how we can make some money. We take the tape, right. We play it for the trainer. With what he just made on that last race, maybe he wouldn't mind slippin' us like five grand...
Jay Trotter:
...I already got rid of the tape.
Looney:
[drops to his knees] AAAHHHHHH!
Jay Trotter:
I just saved you from a lengthy jail sentence.
Looney:
I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!
[slams his money on the betting counter]
Looney:
Fifty bucks on Junebug to win! It's the same name as my cat.

Richard Dreyfuss is a funny little actor, I have seen most of his films.. and this one was great. He is hilarious and so is Jennifer Tilly as the millionaire's girlfriend. Would recommend this movie to anyone whose life sucks, especially on a bad day. Good to watch with a crowd too.
