Katie’s a Ten, filly who decided it would be fun to jump a shadow on the track at Belmont. Which she did, with a huge leap! Then went on to win the race

Is that a fair dinkum photo ?

If it is is the purist example of the trust a horse has in his human.

Alas, Inow think not. But it was done by a stand in with camera tricks 😊

Sadly, we have more press about the Tony pictures than we have actual movies, thanks to the volatility of nitrate film. A 1937 warehouse fire incinerated the entire careers of some silent stars, and about ninety percent of Mix’s three-hundred-plus pictures went up in those flames. Among the lost films is 1923’s Three Jumps Ahead, which featured the pair’s famed twenty-foot canyon leap. A lobby card photo of the jump, taken from a distance, shows a tiny horse-and-rider ninety feet above the rocks of a canyon.

The reviews of the jump were breathless: “The crashing climax—Tony’s very remarkable jump across a yawning abyss with Tom Mix on his back—is startling in its realism. There’s no fake to this scene. No possible way it could be faked. And besides, faking scenes is beneath the dignity of Tom and Tony.”

The jump is totally fake, of course; the figures were obviously shrunk to make the distance of the leap look more daring. And though Tom Mix swore to the press it was the two of them who performed the trick (and that they did it five times), a couple movie stuntmen have since laid claim to it. Besides, Tony had become too much of an insurance risk to be taxed with dangerous action; it’s bad business for a wonder horse to go around doing things that might kill him. So Tony had body doubles for the more physical work of his late career, and was used more often in tighter shots and comic lazzis. By the thirties, doubles covered even those scenes, many of them with painted-on blazes and white sox.
