These Joe McDoakes shorts were popular in the '40s and this one is all about horses. We meet Joe who "always has a horse." He thinks he's going to divert others from picking the winner by spreading the word that so-and-so is a sure bet to win, knowing full well that his own winning pick will be kept secret. Naturally, the horse he gives the tip on, wins the race. Or else he picks a winner based on some random philosophy about numbers--the 7th day of the 7th month, etc. Nothing works out.
In the end, he's a real loser following the horses in a way he never expected to--and still a loser.
Passes the time, but nothing special.
Trivia note: The spoof of LOST WEEKEND provides a few funny moments.
