A good picture. There's no doubt of that. The first of the two reels is more of a prologue. The second reel is where the real action takes place. It is a picture that will stir the blood of the old-time horse racing followers, especially in the scene where Violet Horner as the sweetheart of Baggot coaxes W. R. Daly, the Colonel, to go with her to witness the race. She is forced to do a little strenuous work, to picture to the peevish Colonel just what he is going to see; but she does it so enthusiastically, so heartily, that the Colonel melts, and before Miss Horner finishes her description she has the Colonel "going." There is good photography, some picturesque views of Latonia, and horsey scenes a-plenty. William E. Shay has the part of the villainous poolroom owner and Jane Fearnley that of the adventuress. - The Moving Picture World, July 27, 1912
