Stupidity: Why would a cop bring up an old case when he knew he was the murderer? It makes no logical sense and only brought his downfall.
Suggested correction: He was being blackmailed by Gary Roberts. He "reopened" the case as a ruse to kill Roberts.
Plot hole: Barney Kale decides to reopen a case he couldn't solve. Based on the outcome it makes no logic whatsoever. He is the murderer. Why would he bring attention to it put himself in danger? (00:46:50)
Suggested correction: He was being blackmailed by Gary Roberts. He "reopened" the case as a ruse to kill Roberts.
Trivia: The name of the horse, "Anchors Ahoy," is meaningless and silly. The term, "anchor's aweigh," is short for "the anchor is aweigh," meaning the anchor has been pulled free of the bottom. However, "ahoy" is a hailing call, used to attract the attention of another vessel or, perhaps, a person, and requires an answer. (It's kind of like saying, "Hey, you!") Since anchors are inanimate objects, they can neither hear nor respond to the call.
Suggested correction: It's the name of a horse! Registered purebred horses have all sorts of odd, silly, meaningless names that are personal to the owner. The names don't have to make sense. Also, two registered horses cannot have the exact same name, so it could be argued that the name "Anchors Aweigh" was already taken and this was an alternative choice. Additionally, some registered horses have names that are a variation of their sire or grandsire's name. "Anchors Ahoy" could be related to another horse named "Anchors Aweigh."
