ZVBXRPL are the seven letters on a slip of paper Chico, pretending to sell ice cream and actually selling tips on the races, hands to Groucho in the Marx Brothers movie, "A Day at the Races." The letters are code for the name of the horse, the jockey, the race, etc... giving Groucho the information he wants to gain an unfair advantage when he bets on the next race. Initially, he wanted to bet on Sunshine, but the code and Chico's flimflammery convinces him to bet on a horse ridden by a jockey named Burns. As it turns out, the money Groucho gives to Chico for the inside information is used by Chico to bet on Sunshine, the horse Groucho originally wanted to bet on. Of course, Sunshine wins. Chico dashes off to collect his money, and Groucho is stuck with the ice cream wagon.
