PHAR LAP - THE UNTOLD STORY - THE LATEST PHARLAP BOOK

PHAR LAP - THE UNTOLD STORY

It’s new, it’s revealing and it’s available now.  It’s the latest book on racing legend Phar Lap – providing for the first time an in-depth look at his New Zealand heritage.

This hard-cover book of 185 pages discloses a wealth of previously unknown information about Phar Lap’s New Zealand background.  Among them are an in depth look at his breeder and how he was named; the truth about Harry Telford’s obsessive drive to buy him; an in-depth history of Harry Telford as a jockey and trainer in Australia and New Zealand; and precise details of how Phar Lap came to be purchased.

Also revealed is the story of Phar Lap's passage from Australia to America via New Zealand for his ultimate success in winning the Agua Caliente Handicap and a deep analysis of his subsequent, still mysterious, death, 16 days after that crowning achievment.  Other sections deal with his most sensational victories and the reasons for the few failures in his career, the biggest of which was the 1931 Melbourne Cup, which the authors claim was an "impossible mission".

They also divulge for the first time the true story about the sad personal life of Harry Telford.
