Other mistake: Chico sells Groucho a paper with the name of a horse who is sure to win. It says "ZVBXRPL." Chico explains that the name is in code and then sells Groucho a code book. Groucho looks up the name and says "ZVBXRPL, page 34" but he is looking at a right-hand page. Page 34 would be a left-hand page.
