Riding to Fame (1927)

There is the owner [Old Man Randolph] out to clean up on the big race, the difficulty in entering the horse, a riding jockey for a hero [Jackie] and a crook out to see that the old man's horse doesn't win. Added to this one there is the owner's crippled little daughter [Rose Randolph] whose operation depends upon the success of the race. Obstacles galore, suspense to the last minute and then the grand and glorious finish with hero dashing on to the track a second late, catching up with the riders, passing them and then on to a finish first.
