Mediocre script is almost saved by excellent, very talented cast.
Ann Dvorak really shines, and it is such a treat to watch that exotic face showing so many different emotions. She was usually great, but in "Racing Lady" she out-does herself.
She is very ably supported by the rest of the players, including the shamefully little-known Alex Hill as the jockey.
Willie Best and Hattie McDaniel, Harry Carey and that marvelous singer Smith Ballew, who doesn't sing here, are just a few of the highly talented actors who rescue this clichéd story.
It's a little movie, and has nothing spectacular but a stellar cast. But it's worth watching just for them.
