Tuesday 10 November 2009 Phar Tuesday 10 November 2009 Phar Lap: the Untold Story by Graeme Putt and Pat McCord Review by Gerard Morris, Wellington author and thoroughbred racing enthusiast. There is a saying in racing that a racehorse is an animal that can take several thousand people for a ride at the same time. In Phar Lap’s case, he is still running his race after more than 70 years. He has taken millions along for the ride in that time with no sight of the winning post any time soon. This latest book on New Zealand’s greatest thoroughbred, drills down many strata’s into the great horse’s history and provides compelling evidence to reaffirm Phar Lap’s legendary status based on substance rather than myth. It also confirms that the champion’s New Zealand heritage played a very important part in his success. Why is it then that another angle on the story of Phar Lap that is widely known, needs repeating? Delve into Putt and McCord’s outstanding work and the depth of their years of research reveals absorbing new material on numerous fronts. The chapters on the champion’s breeder, Alec Roberts, born at Akaroa in 1860 and later married into the famous Moorhouse family of Christchurch, brings this otherwise shadowy figure out from the dark and into the light for readers for the first time. His business interests across the South Island brought their own pressures and contributed to a spell for Roberts in the Seacliff Mental Hospital where author Janet Frame was another famous patient. This was clearly a black mark on Roberts’ landed gentry’s heritage, which has previously tagged a more deserved recognition of his breeding nous. The bloodlines on the female side of the champion are linked to a Pacific Ocean high seas rescue in 1878 where the champ’s tap root mare, Miss Kate was aboard the Rangitikei en route from England with one other mare and 60 immigrants heading for Lyttelton, which rescued shipwrecked sailors en route. Besides Phar Lap, Miss Kate is the taproot mare in the bloodlines of the first three inductees into the NZ Racing Hall of Fame in 2006, the other two being Kindergarten and Sunline. The book establishes a fuller and more sympathetic image of the trainer, Harry Telford, describing the period of his extensive training and development in horsemanship spent in New Zealand for the first time, establishing him as the pre-eminent figure in producing Phar Lap, the racehorse supreme, rather than strapper Tommy Woodcock or American owner and Russian-born Jew, David Davis. Most importantly, the book answers the lingering question of why Telford never accompanied the horse on the fateful American trip, leaving it to his young strapper Woodcock instead. Telford’s daughter took ill in Australia just prior to when the horse was shipped from Sydney to Wellington and sadly died the day after the champ left Wellington for San Francisco. His family was his bigger need at that time. Telford returned to visit his brothers in Palmerston North after Phar Lap unbelievably won four races in a week at the Melbourne Cup Carnival in 1930 and he assisted them in buying a house from his winnings. The book contains an audited assessment of the present day value of Phar Lap’s earnings. They are assessed at AU$15.7 million, three-time Melbourne Cup winner and leading Australasian stakes winner, Maykbe Diva, earned AU$14.5 million and Sunline AU$11.3 million on a comparative basis. The authors quote from the history of the champ’s last racetrack, Agua Caliente in Mexico. Its placing judge Francis Dunne, when asked four decades later on who was the better, Man O’ War or Secretariat? Dunne replied: “Neither, I saw Phar Lap.” The legendary Australian trainer, Bart Cummings, Patron of Timaru’s Phar Lap Charitable Trust, recently told Trustees that he visited the now defunct Agua Caliente track two years ago “simply to pay my respects to the champion”. What this book may inspire is a rethink by the Victorian Racing Club when they bring their treasured Melbourne Cup on its annual pre-race tour to New Zealand. If the VRC wants to make further genuine connections to the heritage of the great 1930 Melbourne Cup winner, take their gold trophy in homage to Millers Flat, Seacliff, the United Bays Cricket Club and Le Bons Rugby Club in Akaroa, Moorhouse Avenue in Christchurch, the West Coast Christmas circuit, Invercargill, Lower Hutt, St Peter’s Anglican Cemetery Riccarton (where Roberts is buried), the Kaituna Valley – the champ’s heritage runs deepest in New Zealand. If there was one fault with the book, it is the flow of the story. The authors are a mix of highly regarded racing journalist and university physics lecturer. This long-odds doubles combination make parts of the book seem like it is written by a committee.

Brock, ‘Traducer’ from New Zealand Country Journal.4:1 (1880). A Social and Cultural History of the New Zealand Horse A Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History Massey University, Albany, New Zealand Carolyn Jean Mincham 2008 i Abstract Both in the present and the past, horses have a strong presence in New Zealand society and culture. The country’s temperate climate and colonial environment allowed horses to flourish and accordingly became accessible to a wide range of people. Horses acted as an agent of colonisation for their role in shaping the landscape and fostering relationships between coloniser and colonised. Imported horses and the traditions associated with them, served to maintain a cultural link between Great Britain and her colony, a characteristic that continued well into the twentieth century. Not all of these transplanted readily to the colonial frontier and so they were modified to suit the land and its people. There are a number of horses that have meaning to this country. The journey horse, sport horse, work horse, warhorse, wild horse, pony and Māori horse have all contributed to the creation of ideas about community and nationhood. How these horses are represented in history, literature and imagery reveal much of the attitudes, values, aspirations and anxieties of the times.

  • Volume 8 Number 033 Phar Lap Lead: Despite a Heroic Past, Australia Is
    Volume 8 Number 033 Phar Lap Lead: Despite a heroic past, Australia is a nation with few real national heroes. Few would deny, however, that one of them was a big, red horse named Phar Lap. Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: In his youth, Phar Lap, whose name in Thai is the word for “lightning,” did not seem a likely prospect for heroic status. The gelding was born in Timaru, New Zealand in 1926, bought for about $336 and arrived in Australia, painfully thin, with warts all over his face, and lacking very much elemental grace. His trainer, Harry Telford, however, believed he had the makings of champion. Phar Lap was of large sturdy construction and later was found to have an enormous heart of near freakish size. He could sprint and also hang in there for the distance. Around the stable the horse was known as Bobby, and there he met his soon-to-be inseparable companion, stableboy Tommy Woodcock. After a slow start in 1929 Phar Lap began to place, and by September was judged to be the favorite in most of the races in which he was entered. He won so often that he began to skew the betting odds, costing the book makers a massive hemorrhage each time he won. Prior to one race in November 1930, someone pulled alongside Woodcock and Phar Lap as they were returning from warm-up and tried to shoot the horse. The bullets missed but only after Woodcock threw himself in the path to protect the horse.
