Riders Up is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by Irving Cummings and starring Creighton Hale, George Cooper, and Kate Price.[1][2]
Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] Johnny is a racehorse track tout, but has concealed this fact from his respectable New England family. Norah Ryan, the daughter of the woman who runs the boarding house where he stays, is his sweetheart. He makes a big winning by gambling on a long shot racehorse at the track in Tijuana and determines to take a long-threatened visit home. However, having taken his aged friend Jeff to the track, and persuaded him that the horse Wildflower, upon whom Jeff has staked all his savings, has won, Johnny sacrifices his winnings to make good on the statement. When things look most gloomy, Norah's mother intervenes and enables Johnny to take the young woman home as his wife.
