Kings of the Turf (1941)
Marty sure did Change looks
The film was very entertaining and cute but with some major flaws as far as I'm concerned. I happen to be a horse person and own horses. I felt like they assumed it wouldn't be noticed that they used a different horse for every new stage of life scene with Morty. Starting with the gray foal (baby horse) being born with no white markings whatsoever. Then the breaking of the "Bay" yearling with one white sock,a star and a snip.The #3 horse (Morty) in the race also had different markings. Even when identifying the Draft horse breeds in the pre race exhibition, he misidentified a Belgian! I guess for an audience that doesn't know anything about horses it wasn't a big deal but I just feel that they should have more respect for the horse world and horse enthusiast when making a movie about horses! For this reason alone I was surprised it was nominated for an Emmy
