Almost all the racehorses mentioned in Gondorff's betting con, if not all, are actual thoroughbreds that ran betted races in the 1930s. A jockey named J. Stout did indeed ride "Flying Cross" at least once that month. "Wilder" may be a friendly jab at director Hill's contemporary Billy Wilder, who hated horse racing. "Wrecking Crew" might be a nod to a 1968 film in which Byron Morrow ("Mr. Jameson" in the poker game) also appeared, and uncredited in that one too.
