'inside joke'
During the various POVs of the heist, we hear the track announcer calling the race. One of the horses is "Stanley K"
Kubrick made personal reference like this in at least two other films In "Lolita" when Humbert confronts Quilty who is wearing a toga, Quilty refers to himslef as "Sparticus" and in "Clockwork Orange", when Malcolm MacDowell picks up the two teeny boppers, it is at a record store with the soundtrack of "2001" on clear dsiplay. I can't recall if he does this in any other film. Any one else notice this?
