The Sting

(1973)

The fake tip "Blue Note in the fourth race at Narragansett" helps set up the big con. Narragansett Park, opened in 1934, was a horse racing venue located in Pawtucket. It closed in 1978. From about 1989 to 2013 discount closeout retailer Building 19 1/9 occupied the grandstand building where racing enthusiasts once placed bets.

More than one person on Facebook, commenting on a post related to Narragansett Park, recalled that when they saw The Sting at the Four Seasons Cinemas, less than a mile from the race track, the audience reacted to the local reference with cheers and laughter.
