What is some information about the horse Phar Lap in the Melbourne Cup?
the racehorse Phar Lap is considered a much loved Australian national icon, although he was actually born and bred in Timaru, in the South Island of New Zealand. He never raced in NZ. Phar Lap dominated the racing scene in Australia during a long and distinguished career. In the four years of his racing career, he won 37 of 51 races he entered, including the Melbourne Cup in 1930. In that year and 1931, he won 14 races in a row. He inspired Australia at a time when the country was reeling from the effects of the Great depression, and his victories brought a sense of hope. Phar Lap's death was a great tragedy because he died in such pain, and amidst such controversy. Early on 5 April 1932, Phar Lap's trainer, Tommy Woodcock, found him in severe pain, with a high temperature. Within a few hours, Phar Lap haemorrhaged to death. A necropsy revealed that the horse's stomach and intestines were inflamed, and many believed he had been deliberately poisoned. A variety of theories have been propounded through the years. In 2006 Australian Synchrotron Research scientists said it was almost certain Phar Lap was poisoned with a large single dose of arsenic 35 hours before he died, supporting the belief that Phar Lap was killed on the orders of US gangsters, who feared the Melbourne-Cup-winning champion would inflict big losses on their illegal bookmakers.
