Many of us on the list will have seen the film "PharLap" about the
legendary Champion Australian Thoroughbred race horse...and hopefully,
many knew
it was (basically) a true story. Well, here's a bit of trivia for
you... on this date, March 20, in 1932, Phar Lap won his only North
American start -- the Agua Caliente Handicap at Agua Caliente Racecourse
in Mexico. His time for the 1-1/4 mile race was 2:02 and 4/5, a track
record.
The six-year-old Phar Lap died one month later and the cause of his
death remains a mystery today.
During his 4 years of racing in Australia, Phar Lap won 36 of 50 starts.
Just something to tickle the mind..................
