Bill Murray film's use of famed U.S. horse racing phrase draws lawsuit via SABCNewsOnline

for two decades, on Wednesday sued the makers of Bill Murray’s 2014 film “St. Vincent” for using his signature phrase “and down the stretch they come” without permission.

Johnson said this would likely confuse the public, tarnishing his rights to a phrase “inextricably linked” with him. The lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court seeks unspecified damages, which Johnson said he would donate to charities associated with horse racing, including for disabled jockeys.A lawyer for the defendants did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Johnson’s use of the phrase involves emphasizing the word “down” as horses turn into the homestretch of a race.
