Kings of the Turf is a 1941 short film (10 minutes) directed by Del Frazier.It is a documentary short about horse breeding and horse racing. The film starts at a California horse breeding ranch. A heavily pregnant mare is guided inside a stable, where she delivers a foal named Mortimer or "Morty". Morty is shown as a newborn wobbling on his legs, as a 1-year-old being trained to accept a harness, and a 2-year-old being trained to race. Morty, as it turns out, is not being trained to be a Kentucky Derby-style thoroughbred, but as a harness racer. | |

Big Game: The harness race at the end where Morty makes his racing debut. The film is somewhat vague but Morty appears to run third. | |

Time Skip | |
| Kings of the Turf / int_5fcb9ad1 | comment |
Time Skip "A year's growth and development" covers the skip from Morty as a newborn foal, to Morty as a 1-year-old being fitted with a harness. "Two years of steady training" skip Morty ahead to the big harness race. | |

Overcrank: A slow-motion effect is used to show the different gaits of horses on a track, and specifically the difference between a pace and a trot. | |

Panicky Expectant Father | |
| Kings of the Turf / int_7280652a | comment |
Panicky Expectant Father: As the mare is taken into the stable to deliver Morty, a stallion that is supposedly Morty's father is shown pacing back and forth outside. The narrator says "It's papa who goes to pieces" and that the father has "been making a general nuisance of himself." | |

Pun: The pregnant mare being led into the stables is said to be "infanticipating" the birth of a foal. | |

Manipulative Editing | |
| Kings of the Turf / int_e409de66 | comment |
Manipulative Editing: Pay attention to the markings on the horse, and it is plain that at least three different horses play the part of "Morty." | |
