Sunday, April 9 - Kentucky Blue Streak

Kentucky Blue Streak (1935)

The story of a Kentucky racing family now in genteel poverty with mother Margaret Mann and children Frank Coghlan and Patricia Scott. Their proud stable is now reduced to but one horse, Blue Streak, a promising 3 year old whom they hope can win the Kentucky Derby and pull them out of poverty.

But 
Coghlan gets himself in a jackpot(?) over a killing and he's serving a manslaughter term though he swears innocence (we know he's innocent). Reporter Eddie Nugent helps him with clearing himself, but meanwhile Coghlan has to escape from prison to ride in (and win) the Kentucky Derby.
