Alice Wins the Derby

Alice Wins the Derby is the twentieth film in the Alice Comedies series.

Summary
Alice and Julius are in a combined auto and horse race. Julius has a bad start when his car takes off without him in the wrong direction. Alice and the bad guy battle a bit for the lead, which Alice takes. As they pass a detour, the bad guy changes the sign. Julius, taking the bad road, eventually drives up a cliff and, after a mighty struggle at the top, makes it, in third place, to the changeover. Alice and the bad guy ride away on horses, while Julius has a wind-up wooden horse. Julius' horse keeps breaking down, eventually losing the back legs, so Julius uses an empty thought balloon to hold up the rear. Alice's horse jumps a fence, and won't continue. The bad guy looks like he'll win, but Alice makes a mighty leap and knocks him off to win the race.
