That is probably my favorite line from the film. Let It Ride is one of the smaller sports films that never really got the exposure it deserved. It has funny momments (Maltin must have been watching a different movie). Richard Dreyfuss is great as the "can't lose" cabbie who has a really good day at the track. Jennifer Tilly cracked me up as the ditzy brunette who doesn't know which way is up. Robbie Coltrane is also hilarious as he gets a change of attitude when Jay Trotter has his good day. The character of Trotter is very facsinating. It's someone we can relate to. He's always been a born loser, then something comes along to change his life. Along the way, he gains friends and admiration. He's an everyday everyman. It just goes to show that whether we have to wait one week or one year, there is a "good day" for all of us.
