I'm watching Crazy Over Horses (1951) on TCM right now. The Mahoney Collection Agency goes to work for Louie, and collect a $200 debt owed him by a stable owner. Slip winds up accepting a race horse, My Girl, as payment. Unfortunately, the horse was owned by gambler Duke, who hadn't paid his boarding fees to the stable owner. Duke plans to run My Girl in a race as a ringer for a slower horse, Tarzana. When Slip and Louie won't sell the horse back to Duke, he decides to steal her back by switching her for Tarzana. The slapstick involves both sides switching the horses back and forth until race day. Somehow, Sachs winds up as the jockey in the big race. But which horse is he actually riding?

In Crazy Over Horses (1951, Louie has a female counter employee, Mazie, played by Peggy Wynne. She even has a couple of lines. Chuck (David Gorcey billed as David Condon) and Butch (Benny Bartlett) are on hand as scenery, and Whitey (William Benedict) returns, looking like Louie's older brother. Louie (Bernard Gorcey) has some good scenes. Pretty Gloria Saunders plays Terry, the stable owner's daughter and obligatory female presence. Veteran heavy Ted de Corsica is Duke. And Allen Jenkins is on hand as Weepin' Willie.

Watching Crazy Over Horses (1951) is an OK way to spend a freezing cold Saturday morning, but it's not the best of The Bowery Boys.
