r 9 The one where Francis does the Bottle Cap Challenge. Take that, Statham! 'Francis Goes to the Races', while still a lacklustre and repetitive affair, surprisingly manages to improve upon the poor original. The main reason for that is the fact that the racing setting actually fits much better with the silliness of a talking mule, as opposed to the setting of war as seen before. Donald O'Connor continues the make the films more bearable than they'd otherwise be. Elsewhere, Chill Wills, Piper Laurie, Cecil Kellaway and Jesse White are all alright. It's a tough sell for the cast these films, so I respect their commitment to be fair!

This time Francis and Peter get involved with horse racing, betting, police, and gamblers. Equally funny to the first and seems to flow even better throughout the film. Look for Larry Keating who later went on to co-star on another talking animal show: Mr. Ed. Hayden Rorke also appears before he went on to play Dr. Bellows on I Dream of Jeannie.
