Phar Lap & Tommy Woodcock 1932 Before Death - Rare last footage with audio

Phar Lap is pictured with Billy Elliot (left), the Australian jockey who rode Phar Lap at the Agua Caliente Handicap in Mexico, and his track jockey Jack Martin (right). Tommy feeds lines to Billy, encouraging Australians to bet on Phar Lap for the prestigious race.
Jack Martin offers Phar Lap a cigarette and then feeds him sugar cubes. Billy Elliot puts a pipe in Phar Lap's mouth and we see Phar Lap enjoying a roll in the dust.
Little did anyone know that these would be some of the last pictures of Phar Lap seen alive. He died two weeks after his big win at Agua Caliente.

I think the footage is amazing. That horse was such a gentle giant.

IT sounds like two different pieces of audio? Great footage 👍

Why are people talking about aquariums and Central Park in the background?

[@colliric]

They simultaneously interviewed their wives obviously. Audio was recorded as part of it.

Very suspicious death.

[@terrybear6129]

Very poor sound on this video. Too much talking in back ground

It’s nearly a century old, fair suck of the old sav mate

[@Karntlips]

Far out mate. It’s an old clip
