ABOUT
An absorbing chronicle, not only about the horse, but the people around him.
This book presents the whole story: Phar Lap's birth in New Zealand; his sale as a 'bargain' yearling; his unpromising beginning as an ugly, ungainly colt; his astonishing development, under a then-obscure 'battler' trainer, into a magnificent, powerful animal; his fantastic run of wins on the Australian turf; his journey to America and his victory in Mexico after what was in some ways the greatest race of his career; his death sixteen days later, about which there is even more mystery than his birth.
Includes monochrome images.
CONDITION
Excellent reading copy, clean and intact. Images depict all need to know detail.
