Old Phar Lap was a racehorse and the Aussies wish he was theirs! However, there’s no escaping the fact that (arguably) the sport’s best-ever champion was born in little old Timaru.
Daylight Second tracks the all-too-short life of this gigantic chestnut gelding from his early days in New Zealand, to winning two Melbourne Cups and rewriting race records along the way.
Presenting a tale full of twists and turns, death threats and triumphs, Kiwi author, Kelly Ana Morey, draws on accounts from those who best knew the immortal Phar Lap.
