Broadway Handicap is something entirely new in home movie entertainment. Broadway Handicap is not the title of any one film but rather the name of a series of six untitled 100 foot reels of horse racing. The reels are not identified in any way. Each reel pictures a horse race from time horses leave the paddock and enter starting gate until the last one crosses the wire at the finish. Producer Leslie Winik captured the real excitement of horse racing in vivid closeup and follow shots.
Idea of the series is to provide unusual entertainment for parties and large groups. Included with the set of films are a quantity of paper "stage" money and betting tickets. A reel of film is chosen at random. Bets are placed and the film screened. Winning horses are clearly shown as they cross the finish line. Then holders of winning tickets collect just as in a regular horse race, except that the payoff is made out of the jackpot by the host.
Broadway Handicap is produced and distributed by Official Films, Inc., 425 Fourth Ave., New York City.
