Sweepstakes is a 1931 American pre-Code comedy film directed by Albert S. Rogell from a screenplay written by Lew Lipton and Ralph Murphy.
The film stars Eddie Quillan, James Gleason, Marian Nixon, Lew Cody, and Paul Hurst,[1] which centers around the travails and romances of jockey Buddy Doyle, known as the "Whoop-te-doo Kid" for his trademark yell during races.
Bud Doyle is a jockey who has discovered the secret to get his favorite mount, Six-Shooter, to boost his performance.
The owner of the club where Babe sings, Wally Weber, has his eyes on his horse winning the Camden Stakes.
The film ends by jumping a few years into the future, which shows Doyle and Babe happily married, with a child of their own.
