On a scratch sheet that Goofy is using, one of the horses is named "Hannah
Biscuit," a reference to director Jack Hannah. The racing form that Goofy uses is also loaded with names of Disney imagineers.

From Ryan : Here is another short that features
all Goofy look-alikes. Goofy is a better at the racetrack. He bets on Snapshot
III. Snapshot III seemed like a good pick to him. Another Goofy bets on Old
Moe after doing "Eeny, meeny, miney, Moe." This short is like watching a
horserace on TV, only with a lot of "goofiness" added to it. I find myself
laughing at the end when one of the betters is burning money with his cigar
(talk about "money to burn.")

From Nikki : This one was quite creative
as it showed the reality of the race track. How all these people can either
get into it or just guess. Poor Snapshot just couldn't resist the camera.

From Baruch Weiss : I feel that is a great Goofy cartoon. I enjoyed the music and the part where the narator explained all of the elemnts of horse racing such as wind, philosophy, time of day and temperture, etc. And for all you sharp eyes out there look fast for those ponies from Fantasia! I also enjoyed the ending where the narator says "Tough luck old pal ya can't win every time, or can you?"
