A race track melodrama that is full of the old quality and which, we believe, will make a popular offering; we find it very entertaining indeed. One of its features is a series of finely photographed pictures of race horses in the race. They were taken over the back of a motor car and bring out the frantic emulation of the losing horse when the competitor is passing him. In fact, the offering is full of horse nature and beautiful horses and this is just what is wanted in such a picture; we know that all who love horses will take great pleasure in it. It is safe to say that, on account of this, it is the best racetrack picture we remember. It has another feature, in that Budd Doble himself plays the leading role and drives the winning horse. He is perfect as a racing man, not a bit "camera shy" and gives a most convincing touch to it. Supporting him, is Bessie Eyton, as Rosebud Doble; George Gaffney, as Doble's driver; Frank Clark, as the villain; and Wheeler Oakman, as his son. The script, by Frank Clark, was produced by Colin Campbell and both deserve much credit. A good offering, - The Moving Picture World, July 26, 1913
