    • Trivia
      Fifth and final screen appearance by Arthur Wontner as Sherlock Holmes, and the fourth and final film for Ian Fleming as Dr. Watson.
    • Goofs
      The horses change direction during the race. When the race starts the horses are running clockwise around the track. But they finish the race running counter clockwise. And during the race the direction they're running switches back and forth. And it's not camera angles. Watching the background shows that we are seeing clips from races run in different directions.
