 There is a scene in which Alec opens the door of Henry Daileys  office and looks around at all the old memorabilia Henry acquired as  a winning jockey. One of the photos is a shot of a younger  Mickey Rooney (I) (qv) atop the horse that looks to be the one  featured in _National Velvet (1944)_ (qv). Perhaps it was a promo  shot from that movie because Rooney only rode the horse once in  National Velvet, and that scene took place at night.
