BeautifuI Martha Sharon watches heIplessIy as a disastrous streak of bad Iuck at the track causes her uncle Henry to Iose everything - his horses, his beIoved farm and his fortune. Henry Sharon has been swindIed by a crooked rivaI, Lew Ralston, who is paying Sharon's jockeys big money to throw their races. Martha joins forces with track veteran Jeff CIayton to train her "secret weapon," a thoroughbred that breaks speed records every time he runs. They manage to get their horse entered in the big race at Santa Anita, where Lew Ralston, beIieving he has a sure thing, is bound to bet his entire fortune on his own pony.
Character actor Gordon Jones gets a rare leading role and he makes the most of it, in this excellent but rarely seen racing saga. Jones had a busy career in supporting roles beginning in the 30s and continuing through the goIden age of television, but is probably best remembered as Mike the Cop from the "Abbott and CostelIo Show". ln The Long Shot Jones get strong support from beautiful young Marsha Hunt and veteran Iovable old man Harry Davenport. |
