Notes: Fox’s horse-racing drama (adapted from a Hemingway short story) scored a top 100 finish and did okay on most metrics other than average metres travelled (257th) where it stayed close to the city. Red bait drama The Woman on Pier 13 was its support in most situations, in an insult to star Garfield.
