The coins should go spilling everywhere, but we never see or hear them. 31505 When Velvet is standing with Mr. and Mr. Edes after they catch the Pie at the beginning, from one angle both her hands are on the bridle, but from the reverse angle, her left hand is on the Pie's muzzle. 26092 At one point towards the end of the Grand National, the horses are seen running the wrong way around the track - clockwise, instead of counterclockwise. 44516 When Velvet is talking to her mother in the bedroom, her mother puts her hand on top of Velvet's hands.

But in the scene the following winter - the next school year - Velvet is sitting in the first row.
