Worth Running For

Directed by Joseph Arnold
A short theatrical featurette dealing with the birth and growth of a filly in parallel with the birth and growth of a girl. The object of the filly is to grow up and eventually win Atlantic City's unique Matchmaker Stakes which has as its main award the mating of the winner to any one of the three top stallions. The film dramatically shows the birth of a filly, its frisky early days on the farm and the step-by-step advance to the starting gate. The climax is reached when the horse, in this case Politely, streaks to victory in the Matchmaker race. The film, eight months in the making, is filled with lovely photography of Kentucky's blue grass country and other scene locations like Riverton, Camden, Ocean City, Atlantic City, Monmouth County and Stanton, Delaware.
