In addition to Agnew, other featured players in the cast of “Down the Stretch” are. Marian Nixon, Otis Harlan, Ward Crane, Ena Gregory, Jack Daugherty and Virginia True Boardman.

Tuttle and was adapted to the screen by Alvin J. Neitz. The cast includes Lola Todd, Ted Oliver, William A. Steele, Robert McKenzie.
