It was a great race today. 80 to 1 odds on the winner. I loved the way he came to the front.

1983 Melbourne Cup - the races that stops two nations for about 30 minutes, every year......

New Zealand horse 'Kiwi' last out the birdcage, and bringing up the rear at the first full call.....

Probably New Zealand's most famous horse.... 'Phar Lap' - even though the Aussies claim he's theirs.



as in......

 

[Richard Cranium]

Best horse racing movie ever!

 

[QOTHL]

Phar Lap is a really sad story. It's disgusting what happened to him.

 

[QOTHL]

This is beyond believable

Secretariat COOKED Sham in the first 3/4 mile with a blinding time of 1:09 4/5th, a fast time for a sprint race, then didn't just keep a lead, he opened an impossible number of lengths and crushed the record. Look at how relaxed his gate is, how effortlessly he runs.
