Trivia[]
- Warner Oland kept falling asleep during a race track scene, so director H. Bruce Humberstone included a lot of noisy extras in the shot to keep the actor awake.
- While many here refer to the race track as "Santa Anita" the track in the film is called "Santa Juanita" which doesn't exist.
