Tip on a Dead Jockey is a 1957 American drama film directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Robert Taylor and Dorothy Malone.

Phyllis Tredman is shocked when her husband Lloyd, a decorated Korean War U.S. Air Force pilot, sends word to her after his discharge from military service requesting a divorce.

A mysterious man named Bert Smith, aware that Lloyd is down on his luck, offers him $25,000 to do something illegal and dangerous—smuggling currency from Cairo to Madrid, dropping the box of cash in mid-air.

He says if the horse wins, he won't need Smith's offer, but the race ends tragically with the jockey killed.

He drops the box from the sky as planned, but notifies Interpol and gets Bert arrested at the scene of the crime.
