I love THE BLACK STALLION, but it does get a big chuckle from me when they start all of that about "the mystery horse" being in the race.
How did a horse get in there without its papers? As you mentioned, nothing about his age - but they don't know his breeding, country of origin - how do they know it's a thoroughbred?
But it is such a well-made and beautifully shot film that i can excuse its faults.
I love how in MAJOR LEAGUE, the Cleveland Indians are home-based in Milwaukee County Stadium.
There's an old William Holden film titled BOOTS MALONE about racing, and at one point they're supposed to be at a track near Baltimore called Dellington. Trouble is, there are palm trees in evidence near the track, so I'm guessing that the location was actually Del Mar. Not a bad film otherwise.
