The greatest of all time, how easy was that with 63kg. To win on all 4 days of the spring carnival in 1930 is testament to how much of legend this horse is. Taking nothing away from Winx & Black Caviar, neither of those could have achieved this amazing feat.
100% correct. Winx and Black Caviar were limited to specific distances. Phar Lap wasn't. Greatest horse to race in Australia, on a different level altogether to most that have raced in Australia, Winx and Black Caviar included.
@@underscore2824 Yes, you'd like to see some owners and trainers really have a go.
CARBINE.
so said he is dead he died at the age of 6!
@@marknorris1381 He won 37 from 51. He was beaten in 2 of 3 Melbourne Cups. Great horse but he was beaten. Winx won her last 33 straight and would have failed in a Melbourne Cup but why would she have run in one? I have no doubt she was superior at 1600-2000m, just as Phar Lap was at longer trips and Black Caviar was over sprint trips. There's a lot of romance about Phar Lap, not the least the nonsense about American gangsters killing him. It's a childish argument, much the same as we blamed the Yanks for killing Les Darcy after Australia disowned him.
The Smoke comin off the crowd. 🚬🚭
He was trained at Braeside in Victoria
I lived nearby the track was still there for years
I seen Pharlap in the museum 🙂🌺
Would like to see these things, getting around today, carrying 63 kegs, and making look easy ...........This guy was a freak .........wish I was there, it would've been a sight !!!!!!!!
Got to love Jim Pike.
May I just remind you all, yes, Phar Lap was born in NZ, but he was sold at an auction and sent to Australia as a pile of skin and bones...sorry NZ but you lost your chance
Have you read the Phar Lap wiki? It’s ridiculous. Australia doesn’t even get a mention.
But the kiwis will always try to claim he's there's but not one kiwi had anything to do with his success
Why do we always have to argue about he origin of where the horse comes from? Let’s just embrace the fact we witnessed a champion in our lifetime
Hes kiwi shuddup
@@ViolaEffect dw just fixed it 😏
THANK YOU TE PAPA WELLINGTON
Majestic Pharlap ❤
Phar Lap was sold at NZs premier yearling sales iat Trentham. He was out of condition when he arrived in Australia because of a particularly rough crossing by ship, across the Tasman. Yes, he had warts on his nose, very common in young horses. He was NZ bred, no taking away from that, but can't we just marvel and celebrate a truly majestic horse, of the likes we may never see again?
💎
Fantastic legend of a Kiwi horse that (sigh) the Aussie’s claim was there’s
he was raised and trained by australians.. good try
You kiwis didn’t want her, us aussies made him who he was
Haha knows nothing lol
@Aly J nope hes a kiwi born and bred, just leased out to the aussies
He would have been just another nag because the lame NZers didn't have a clue. The trainer saw his breeding lineage, bought him and shipped him back to Oz. Did not start in a race in NZ. After he won races in Oz the Kiwis started claiming him.
Great Australian horse saved from the hands of kiwi negligence. Sold at auction for next to nothing as a bag of bones and warts all over his face.
You mean a great kiwi horse that was trained in Australia
@@gezzapk I don't think it was much of a great horse until it was trained in Australia by Australians so therefore I'd say it's definitely an Aussie horse but hey if it makes you feel better let's say it's a kiwi horse lol
@@gezzapk plus his dad night raid was an Aussie horse imported to New Zealand!!
@@gezzapk Such a "great" horse you Kiwis let him go for a song.
A stayer of stayers. .
I think only 18 starters in that cup a bit light on add another 5 at least in carbines cup 39 way too many
I can guarantee that all of these views are from students and teachers
Negative
nope. I'm just a dude at work eating lunch.
Fren not wrong
Lol
Nope. Was sitting talking to a Melbournite and started talking about Pharlap. He said he was poisoned. Had to look it up. He was poisoned by his trainer they have concluded. Tonic water is was labelled. Arsenic- cocaine and something else. How true it is. I don't know
Kiwi born
So was Ben Stokes and he is now the Captain of England.
New Zealand horse
And just like Aaron Baynes would prefer to be known as Australian
New Zealand horse who wasn't wanted. Sold at an auction. Came to Australia skin and bone, warts and a strange gait.
Was lol
Thats the greatest horse ever? Give me a break. Secretariat eats him for a snack. Foh
Secretariat wouldn't see Phar Lap for dust.
You'd have to compare what weights they carried respectively etc and why compare a 1930's to 1970's horse it's like pulling the rug out from under Babe Ruth
Depends under what circumstances. Secretariat was close to unbeatable in juvenile races, no doubt and may be the fastest individual race racehorse ever. But if you were to race both horses in 5 group races over a 15 day period and throw in a two miler just for good measure, Secretariat might just fold under that sort of pressure, and probably by about the 3rd or 4th race. Having looked at his race record his starts were spaced at a minimum of 10 days to 2 week intervals. Phar Lap did exactly the above over 15 days at distances from 8 furlongs to two miles and won all five races.
Thi 1:47 s was 1930 bare in mind. Tracks, horse fittings, jockeys are all subject to "modern technology". Pharlap was "naturally" fast
