Racing Lady is a 1937 American drama film produced by RKO Radio Pictures, which premiered in New York City on January 12, 1937, and was released nationally on January 29. Directed by Wallace Fox, the screenplay was written by Dorothy Yost, Thomas Lennon, and Cortland Fitzsimmons, based on a story by Damon Runyon, which had been further expanded by J. Robert Bren and Norman Houston. While over 25 of Runyon's stories and novels have been used as the basis for films, this was one of only two films (the other being George White's 1935 Scandals) in which Runyon was direct involved with the story, it being based on his unpublished work "All Scarlet". The film stars Ann Dvorak, Smith Ballew, and Harry Carey. A young woman horse trainer clashes with a wealthy horse owner over a mare.
