Racing Luck (1948 film)

Racing Luck is a 1948 American comedy romance sport film directed by William Berke and starring Gloria Henry.

Plot
Saddled with debts after her father's death, Phyllis Warren's most valuable properties are a pair of thoroughbreds: Flasher, which her little brother "Boots" trains and rides, and Charm Boy, which doesn't seem to run well unless Flasher is in the same race. Charm Boy is bought at a Santa Anita claiming race by rich trainer Jeff Stuart as a gift to Natalie Gunther, his sweetheart. Phyllis, not intending to part with the horse, persuades Jeff to return him, but Natalie sees a grateful Phyllis hug him, she keeps the horse and dumps her beau. With a big stakes race coming up, Natalie discovers that Charm Boy won't run unless Flasher does as well. A wager is made that the winning trainer gets to keep both. A barn fire results in an injury to Boots, but he still manages to ride Flasher to victory and win Charm Boy back for his sister. ==Cast==
