Phar Lap was born 100 years ago!
This beloved horse’s meteoric rise on the racetrack captured the public imagination in the 1930s, bringing joy and hope during the Great Depression
Phar Lap was born at Seadown Stud in Timaru, New Zealand, on 4 October 1926.
He was sent to the yearling thoroughbred sale at Trentham, Victoria in January 1928, where he was purchased by Australian trainer Harry Telford.
Phar Lap went on to win 37 races, including the 1930 Melbourne Cup
