No. Although considered a much loved Australian national icon, Phar Lap was actually born and bred in Timaru, in the South Island of New Zealand, but he never raced in NZ. He dominated the racing scene in Australia; during 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.
