Francis Goes to the Races

A Riot of Laughs when Francis Talks to Horses - and gets the Winner of every Race!

6.5(15)19511h 28m2

In this funny sequel to the popular Francis the Talking Mule, the talkative Mule and his pal Peter get a job working on a horse-breeder's ranch. They end up saving it from financial ruin when Francis, who has the inside track with the racehorses, provides Peter with names of the winners before the races are run. Sure enough Peter finds himself with a fistful of cash and uses it to buy a racehorse for the farm. Unfortunately, the horse he chooses is suffering from a debilitating lack of confidence. When not dealing with the mare, Peter finds time to court the horse breeder's niece and trying to avoid the gangsters who want in on the winnings.

Take that, Statham! <em>'Francis Goes to the Races'</em>, while still a lacklustre and repetitive affair, surprisingly manages to improve upon the poor original.
