Anecdotes
Jane Darwell, who plays the grandmother Mrs. Aggie Curtis, is known for role as The Bird Woman in Mary Poppins (1964) which was her final acting credit.

Gaffes
When Red raced Mr. Moresby's horse, he was made to appear as though he couldn't run on the inside against the rail of a circular track, as he had supposedly only ever previously raced straight-track racing at the county fair. However, it's plainly obvious that Red's head was being pulled to the right in the turns to keep him from running on the inside as a horse would instinctively do. Regardless of whether a horse had ever raced on a circular track or not, no horse would ever drift to the outside of a curve in a circular or oval track. Any animal would naturally stay to the inside of a long curve while running at full speed. This was a forced and artificial story line to add tension to the plot.

The train station closes down. This means that Jane Darwell can no longer ship horses out. Her creditors set the foreclosure auction date. Her grandson, Ted Donaldson tries to train his big red stallion for the track in hopes of selling him for enough money to keep the place.

It's a Brian Foy production for Eagle-Lion and a well calculated step in upgrading from PRC product. There are subplots like trainer Robert Paige warming up iceberg Noreen Nash. There are trick sequences, like Donaldson telling Daisy (borrowed from the Blondie series to fetch the horse; doubtless this was recalled when he directed more than 50 episodes of Lassie for television. But the sheer joy of this movie lies in its long shots and Trucolor images crafted by Virgil Miller. At one point, Willie Best is asked what he thinks of the western scenery. "The trees and mountains get in the way," he says. With Ray Collins and Pierre Watkins.
